Guest guest Posted January 15, 2002 Report Share Posted January 15, 2002 , Very well said. Yes, there are much worse diseases, and I consider myself very fortunate not to be suffering greatly from CMT. I do realize others suffer greatly from CMT. There is always two sides to the story, but I agree with you. ----- Original Message ----- From: " cindy kruser " <tigerboy@...> < > Sent: Monday, January 14, 2002 4:16 PM Subject: [] Why Me? > In response to the dozens of e-mails I read on this topic, I never ask, " Why me? " . I thank God every day for not giving me an even worse burden to bear, like cancer or some other terrible disease. CMT creates a challenge for me, it's not going to kill me. God shut a door in my life when I was diagnosed with CMT, then he opened a window. I am now receiving long term disability benefits, and am home full time. This has enabled me to not only take better care of myself and my family, it has allowed me to " stop and smell the roses " , and appreciate the good things in my life. My 50 hour per week, 22 year career never gave me that luxury. Am I happy that I have this terrible illness? No way! But, I'm dealing with it, as we all are, and trying to make the best out of the situation. I think it's imperative that we focus on the good things in our lives. I am blessed, in spite of CMT. Sorry, I don't mean to be a martyr, this is just the way I feel. > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
