Meeting Another Person With CMT

[Guest guest]

This week I met a gal right here close to me that has CMT. She was diagnosed

as a teen. I was so shocked, you see her hands are bent and crippled and she

is now deaf due to CMT. We never read a lot about hand involement and to see

a deaf person whose doctors attribute it to CMT was surprising. She has just

become deaf in the last two years. We sat staring at each other and talking.

Her hands aren't numb but mine are, my fingers are straight but hers aren't.

My legs are numb and I have foot and ankle weakness and dropping, she had

foot drop but has lots of feeling in her legs. I guess I'm amazed how much we

can all differ with this CMT. Just thought I would share this meeting with

ya'll. We are going to get together tomorrow for a vist. I have told her about

this group and maybe she can join soon. Cathleen in Arkansas!!!
