My Introduction

[Guest guest]

Hi,

My name in . I have CMT - they think. Because I am adopted, I have no

genetic history. The neurologist said " it looks like a duck, it walks like a

duck and it sounds like a duck, so we will treat it as a duck until or if we

find out it isn't a duck " So I " assume " it is CMT I live with. I have tried to

see if there are any support groups in the area I live and have not been

successful. I see there is info and such but all in the United States. AT

least I have found this - a great help. because who better to talk to than those

who live with this daily.

I try to be positive and I know that I am capable of doing many things. I have

a university degree and am capable of working for many years yet, BUT I lost a

job due to this disease. They did not say it directly Legalities you know) but

in my heart and gut I am SURE it was the reason. I am now very worried about

looking for work. I am working presently but I am very aware of the physical

toll it is taking on my body. I NEED to work and yet I am not sure where to

look and what to do. I would appreciate talking with people who are living with

this and have figured out ways to deal with their anxieties and such. Thanks so

much.
