How did You Hear About CMT?

[Guest guest]

I heard about CMT disease when I was 10. I sat with my mother in the

doctor's office and got the diagnosis about my " funny feet " . He then

presented a host of information, most of which my 10 year old brain

couldn't grasp and all I could think of was " were there sharks in the

water at the beach that I got this from " ? This Dr. was an orthopedist,

who was in his 50s at that time. The year was about 1962. The place was

Los Angeles.

I was 8 years old and the year was 1968. I too sat with my mother listening

to the doctor explain about my funny feet and why I fell all of the time.

Until recently discovering this group I had little knowledge concerning CMT

all that I knew was that I had it and I just had to deal with being

different. I still have the same feeling. I just do what I can and if I

can not do it oh well. Traci
