Guest guest Posted June 13, 2006 Report Posted June 13, 2006 Welcome Pam and thanks for jumping in with your introductory post. I can understand your worry about the future. Ever since I was diagnosed (in childhood) I had worry with me - until about age 27. It was then I got my butt back to a neurologist and started making some positive lifestyle changes that are still with me today - some 26 years later. Know that CMT affects us all differently, even people in the same family can be affected differently. About having the baby: yes, somewhere it is mentioned that pregnancy and stress on the body can worsen CMT, but we've had lots of posts about this in the past and members have shared their positive experiences. I know when , Heidi and other " Moms " see this they will respond about their experiences. ( I am in the process of obtaining a new medical article about CMT and Pregnancy for our Files) Maybe it would be a good idea to get to a neurologist, get examined, and get a firm diagnosis. Then maybe supplements like Vitamin C and E and others may be helpful, as well as orthotics or AFOs if you need them. Perhaps a regular exercise program and a nutrition plan may also be beneficial to you as our members have found, myself included. Again, welcome, you'll find good information, help and hope here at . ~ Gretchen/Founder-Moderator Quote
