I doubt any of us could do much in physical education. I sang in choir and I

play the piano some.

I couldn't do monkey bars either or walk on narrow forms, or run or do

handstands etc. I did physical education at school from the age of 5 until I was

13 and then one doctor decided I couldn't do it and stopped me. I didn't mind, I

used to play my French Horn instead, I could and still can do that

REMEMBER MONKEY BARS AT THE PLAYGROUND?

OH WOW ! You just brought back a memory for me, the monkey bars at

school! I could never play on them and I wanted to very much like the

other children, but never could, I didn't have the strength for it. Now at

least there was a reason for it (too little to late for hurt feelings as a

child) ~>Becky M.

I think has hit the nail on the head. People with CMT should learn when to

stop and take life easier. I know it is difficult but if you can do it you do

feel a lot better.

Re: new member

MY CHILD WITH CMT IS DOING FINE. SHE IS 26 YRS. SHE NEVER HAD AS MUCH TROUBLE

GROWING UP AS I DID. NEVER HAD THE SPRAINED ANKLES. ME, THAT'S ANOTHER STORY.

I FELL OFF OF THE SCHOOL BUS SEVERAL TIMES, RIGHT ANKLE SPRAINED SO MANY

TIMES I LOST COUNT. FELL AT SCHOOL, JUST WALKING FROM CLASS TO CLASS. I'VE

HAD TRIPLE ARTHRODESIS ON RIGHT ANKLE IN 94. LAST DECEMBER HAD ANOTHER

SURGERY TO REMOVE CALLOUS AND CORN CAUSED BY TOO MUCH PRESSURE. HANDS HURT A

LOT. JUST PACE MYSELF, AM LEARNING WHEN TO QUIT INSTEAD OF JUST KEEP GOING

LIKE I USED TO DO. ALSO HAVING A LOT OF MUSCLE SPASMS IN UPPER LEGS.

. You mentioning tennis made me realise something. When I did do physical

education at school, I could hold a badminton racquet and play but a tennis

racquet always felt heavy and to hit a ball with it nearly killed me. Now I know

why.

I was the tallest in school at that time! So I was tagged, The jolly green

giant.

Well, that makes one feel good about them selves right? NOT! Then to top

it off, I was so clumsy, and sports were out, as I never could manage to

keep from tripping over my own feet. And I loved to play tennis, but was

very very bad at it! I too had those wonderful lets see the school from

this angle? The floor? Rolling down the slope from the school entrance!!!

Yikes! And I had to wear dress's or skirts back then eons ago. What fun!

Gee am I glad those days are over, (school) LOL, ~>Becky M.

, I take 40-60 mg of oxycontin for my pain, I know sometimes I am too

drugged to do anything, but it is better than the pain. I find the pain to

sometimes leave me totally gone! Sometimes it is bad enough I can only cry,

that is when I take that extra oxycontin and lay in my recliner and entertain

my family. I can get very goofy when I take that 5th pill. Anyone else have

a suggestion? -jr

Welcome.

What type of pain do you have? Nerve? Structural? Other???

Do you have a name? How are you doing other than the pain?

Good luck.

Hi JR, my name is Jeanie and I'm your neighbor from Oregon.

Have you ever tried a Therapeutic Massage Specialist? Not Reiki

The reason I ask is because last summer my CMT in regards to pain was out of

control. I was on Neurontin and Flexeril and Vicodin. At night I would take

up to 5 500mg of Vicodin, 2 to start and then 2 hours later another 2 and if

that didn't take care of it in half an hour I would take the 5th....

My pain was out of control. I would sit in bed crying and rocking myself.

When I'm in pain I rock myself and make a sound like nananananananana over

and over. It was the only way I could deal.

Then a miracle happened. I won a raffle. The raffle was for a free massage

session. I was going to give it to my dad who also has CMT but he refused it

so I used it.

Now I know that not every massage person is the same. But this is what

happened with mine.

That night I had NOOOOO PAIN. I decided to go back to him 1 week later and

had no pain for 1 WHOLE WEEK. Again I waited a week and returned. This time I

had no pain for 1 month, I was able to go off my Flexeril and Neurontin and

I'm down to 1 or 2 Vicodin a night. I still have pain. But NOTHING like what

I had before.

Do you ever visit Portland, Oregon.... ?? If so, I know Dan would fit you in.

He is affordable. He only charges $45.00 for a one hour session. This guy is

not doing this for money but to help people.

I hope you find relief soon..... Your new friend, Jeanie

Joyce, Lamar here,

If you have Type 1, even if you are a spontaneous mutation, you have a mutation.

Each child you have has a 50% chance of having CMT. Whoever told you otherwise

is badly wrong.

Re: New member

Welcome Joyce. My name is Martha I am 46 and I live in Colorado. I have CMT as

well. However mine is a spontaious mutation. It means my family has no hystory.

It just happened. I am so glad you could join us.

My brother and sister also have CMT but there is no other family

were told that we could not pass it on to our children, however my 12

year old

daughter is now showing mild signs!

My own CMT caused some problems duing my teens ten did not progress

until my late twenties when over about 5 years I progressed from

being very

active to being a wheelchair user.

Welcome Joyce.

I live in Shropshire (next to the W elsh border) in England and I have CMT2.

We only discovered in January why I couldn't walk and then we looked around and

discovered my father, my sister and my two eldest sons have it, but thank God

not anywhere near as severe as I have it. There also seems to be problems

'further a field' in our family but we'll see.

Have fun and you'll learn a lot from these guys - believe me.

HI Joyce, and welcome. I hope we'll hear from you sometimes. We learn a lot

from one another. One biggie we learn is how different from each other we

are, with regard to how CMT treats us, yet we have a lot in common as well.

We were in Ireland in 1960 and my husband has been there recently, so I hear

it is as green and beautiful as ever, and the people are still friendly to

tourists.

Regards,

Kat in Seattle Washington, USA - the Evergreen State (if you don't count the

eastern half which is mostly brown unless it's irrigated).

So far in July we've had 3mm or .12 OF an inch of rain. So we are brown too.

The usual in summer for us.
