Guest guest Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 Welcome Selfish Genome, Thank you for introducing yourself. Many with CMT have experiences similiar emotional issues as you surrounding CMT. In my experience, the best I can do is maintain a positive attitude in the 'power of now', plus remaining grateful for all my experiences that have been 'gifts' - including having CMT. As for AFOs, custom made ones for your legs/feet will help. You may wish to review our past posts on AFOs, as this topic has come up many times. You may also wish to look at Helios braces http://www.hnf- cure.org/html/braces.php AFOs can be worn under slacks/pants, or under long skirts if you are so concerned with " looks " . Many of my friends wearing AFOs, who have fully accepted their CMT, wear shorts, and do not think much of it. AFOs are merely a device to help persons with CMT move around better. Whatever kind and make, I suggest you find a quality Orthotist and discuss your needs and options with him/her. ~ Gretchen (Founder/Moderator ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
