Guest guest Posted September 17, 2002 Report Share Posted September 17, 2002 Hi, I am 47 years old and was diagnosed with CMT in November 2001. I was diagnosed because I had a stroke in March, and was having a lot of difficulty walking. I knew I had problems with walking before, but I had blamed this on the tendon in my big toe being torn, so I had to lift my foot higher than normal so my toe would not go under my foot. After several blood test, they did a DNA test and discovered I have CMT. I wear AFOs on both legs. I am in advertising sales, so the AFOs help alot, except I do tire out alot. I started taking Wednesday afternoons off to rest and I think I spend most of my weekends in bed so I can rest up and make another week. It is hard sometimes to even get dressed in the mornings, but I'm still trying to deal with the shock of having CMT and feel like working at this time is probably good therapy for me. I wanted to ask if anyone else has ever experienced a rash with their CMT? I'm glad I joined this group, I need to speak with other people that understand and can help me understand more.
