Malinda: Thank you for the welcome

[Guest guest]

Malinda,

It's nice to meet you! It doesn't sound like you've let CMT slow

you down

What you're going into sounds very interesting.. I'll have to look

into it more. Your drug idea would be wonderful!

Pacing yourself does seem to be pretty needed with this - I'm still

getting used to that. I'm glad you've found things to make it work

for you.

thank you!

diagnosed at 6 months old. I graduated from Tennessee Technology

Center in 2002. I'm a certified Pharmacy Technician. I decided to go

back to college in January 2004. I'm a Junior and my major is

Biology/ Pre Pharmacy. I attend University of Memphis.I plan to go

on to Pharmacy school and become a Pharmacist or Pharmacologist. I

would like to hopefully develop a drug to help CMT and Muscular

Dystrophies.

When I first started college, I had a killer schedule. I only got 3

hours of sleep at night. I was driving home from class and my vision

got really blurred. I thought I was going to have a seizure. I now

rest. I also park closer to class and I use a power wheelchair to

avoid the long walk around campus. I love it though! If you have any

questions, email me.
