Re: pregnancy, environmental factors poll

[Guest guest]

Lorna,

I would have to agree with you about pregnancy being magical. I have had

three kids. During each of my pregnancies I never fell one time; even though I

was a natural born klutz (before CMT showed in me and after, lol). It even

seemed at times that I could walk better, more steady and cautious when I was

pregnant. I guess when it's just me I tend to get in a hurry about things to

avoid a lot of pain.

Cold is also my Achilles heel. It affects almost the entire length of my

arms and legs when it's cold. Sometimes to the point of not being able to use

them for anything. Does anyone else have the same reactions to cold? Or is it

just me?

On another note, I took a walk the other day (about 10 blocks) and

noticed as I was walking back to my house that the pain in my legs seem to

centralize in three certain points: a circular are directly below my knees, the

outside edges of my feet from toe to heel going up to my ankles and eventually

coming to a point halfway up my calves. I am saying this because I would like to

hear everyone's opinions about my readiness for AFOs. Thanks in

advance,
