Guest guest Posted November 16, 2003 Report Share Posted November 16, 2003 I have just joined . I am a third year medical student headed towards a career in neurology if all goes well. I also have CMT; however I am the only one in my family. Now my professors tell me that family history is positive in only 65% of the cases. I'm very excited about the NT-3 research news and hope to hear more. I'm at a University in So. Cal. and we are following the NT-3 development closely. A little about me; I am 29, it appears I have a mild mutation of CMT - I've had all the gene tests, and EMG/NVC's with no concrete answers to either demylenating or axonal.My EMGs have always appeared normal in range. I have been rediganosed several times; the consensus is I have CMT - the " type " is unclear. My most challenging symptom of CMT is fatigue, but I put in 15 hour days or more and my peers seem to be just as tired. I'm engaged to be married next summer. In my free time I follow professional volleyball, read mysteries and am a gourmet cook. Thank you all for inviting medical professionals to your group. Just the description on the main page told me what I wanted to hear. What a great way to learn about CMT - from each other! Joi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
