Re: Re: No response EMG Melody

[Guest guest]

Melody, I have been nursing CMT for 15 years, I am now 76yrs old. Ware AFO's.

Use cane or walker. I was sure that my CMT was traveling up into the thighs

and this was the cause of my having no balance. I made an appointment with a

neurologist for a EMG. I, too, have nothing from the knees down but he

tested the thighs and it has not traveled there. I asked, " Why have I lost

my ability to balance myself? " Because my feet are really numb and nerves

there cannot tell the brain that I am standing on ground level, the brain

cannot tell my body to balance. Makes sense! He told me to go out and live

my life to the fullest. " If people look at the way you walk. Let them.

They look at me because of my color......I just go on living my life the best

way I can. " I finally feel that I am done with the testing and will make

any adjustments needed to keep moving.
