Guest guest Posted July 28, 2002 Report Share Posted July 28, 2002 Hello, I'm a 36 yr. old female with CMT1A. I have had problems my whole life. I wasn't diagnosed until I was 19. My mother has CMT and my grandmother had it, and gr-grandfather and so on. It has never skipped a generation in my family yet. I have alot of weakness in my arms, hands,legs, and feet. I have a great amount of sensory loss and numbness too. My coordination and balance is effected alot also. It has caused me to become completely disabled at this time, and I am on SSI. But I have a great attitude and always keep a smile on my face. I also have herniated 3 disks in my lower back L4,L5,S1-L5. That has become a harder battle to face with the CMT compounding the problem. I would like to know if anyone else has had problems with their back also. Thanks for listening.
