self-esteem affecting CMT?

[Guest guest]

Dear ers,

I have a question. I noticed on our poll that many said they feel CMT

affects their self-esteem. Can anyone elaborate on this for me?

1) I mean, on one had does CMT and your symptoms make you feel ashamed

or guilt ridden?

2) Or does life with CMT enhance your self esteem in a positive way due

to your fortitude to accept daily challenges and changes in symptoms?

I feel I am in Part 2 with CMT and my self esteem. Learning to accept

the challenges and changes just keeps me going and I get emotionally

stronger with each day.
