Welcome Nadia

[Guest guest]

Hi Nadia, If you do not have CMT then your son will not have CMT. Have you

had any blood testing done to look for CMT type in your Mom?

Welcome to , Nadia. I am sure that you will find many answers to

different questions from various members of the group. I know I sure have! ) I

have

only been a member for a short time, but have already learned more about CMT

from the members of the group than I did before I joined. It's good to have

you as a part of this group. Welcome again,

Welcome Nadia. Thanks for introducing yourself. Perhaps the best thing

for you to do is be tested for CMT, your sister and son also. Sometimes

people receive early diagnoses, like I did, as a child; yet others

receive their diagnosis much later in life. But CMT is slowly

progressive; it doesn't happen " overnight " . Also members of the same

family can experience different symptoms altogether. Some people are

affected in their arms and hands; right now, and for the longest time,

my CMT problems are mostly feet related. So, perhaps a visit to a

neurologist would be a good idea and some testing for CMT in your

family.

Again, welcome to . ~ Gretchen

Welcome Nadia, I am Cathleen and I am 50 years old and live in Arkansas. I

was always a clumsy person from childhood through now. I was in my 40's when I

finally got diagnosed. I also have weakness in my arms and hands. I hope you

and your sister never have to have this disease. Regards to your Mum.
