Guest guest Posted August 5, 2002 Report Share Posted August 5, 2002 Welcome onboard . Your post caught my attention. I'm 43 and just joined this board about a month ago. I was dianosed in the early 90s with CMT, although I knew I had it before then because of family members who have had it. You say you are applying for disability. I am starting to notice weakness in my legs a little more then normal. In my family most of us who have CMT could not work past their late 40s as well. Needless to say I'm stubborn and wish to work as long as I can,I do alot of walking in my job. Recently I have noticed my legs and ankles weaking to the point I need to sit down and rest more often. I would be interested if this is want you are going through. I guess I'm trying to compair my symptons with others to see where I'm at with this thing. I think I have been lucky so far. I have a cousin who just recently had to go to a wheel chair because he couldn't walk any longer in his factory job. Both he and I seem to have it a little worse then the rest of the family. Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated! Thanks Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
