Guest guest Posted July 31, 2005 Report Share Posted July 31, 2005 Thanks for the introduction. You will find many friends here., all well acquainted with our common enemy, CMT. We are each different symptom-wise, but very similar in outcomes. CMT seems to come onto those of us who able to bear it best and must surely be of a Provincial plan of God. CMT came to me in my childhood days and has mercilessly progressed all these years --I'm 79,.I am thankful for what I can still do: drive, walk -with AFOs, & mow my yard. I am retired after being an educator for lots of years. The best to you, Carol & all in the Land of the Illini Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 Dear Friends, Thank you all for the welcome. I had belonged to another group many years ago, I believe it was associated with Mass. General Hospital. I have gotten a lot of help for myself by joining the YMCA aquasize class. I was shopping for wheel chairs and was walking with a cane. Not to mention a fair amount of pain. The water exercise has been a huge help for me. Perhaps it would help others to know this! Have recently noticed that my left calf muscle is not stretching as much as it used to. I'm afraid of the muscle shortening up. Talked to my aqua teacher and we went over some more stretches that I could do at home. Gotta try it!! Carol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
