Other than genetics

[Guest guest]

Donna B.,

I was born in 1952. I had the same shoe skates and Mentholatum for

night breathing. I had some falls on skates, similiar to my peers. I

also had my tonsils and adenoids taken out when I was 17 - that helped

my breathing 100%.

I am either a spontaneous mutation (first in the family) OR a recessive

type that has not been prevalent in my family for 4 generations. I am

not concerned about 'where' my CMT came from. But I know roller skating

or mentholatum had nothing to do with it.

I wake up and say " hello world " , and start each day with making a

gratitude list.

I know living in a hotel must be difficult for you. I hope you can get

settled in a home soon. I can't remember if I suggested you attend some

OA meetings - there are so many in the L.A. area. Their 12 step

program, like mine, if you are willing, will really change your life.

There are wheelchair/scooter accessible meetings too, and if you look

through the phone book, they should have a listing.
