Guest guest Posted November 4, 2004 Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 Esther: Hang in there. Life is not a bed of roses with CMT, but it's not the end of your life either. Glad to encourage a fellow teacher who like I, have CMT. I am retired from teaching science & math, being an administrator, guidance counselor. Even taught in the Texas prison system. All told 41 years. I've had CMT since I was 6 yrs old. It has affected my hands & feet but I still get around but have to improvise dexterous chores---buttons, zippers, snaps, etc. I have been married for 49 yrs. to a wonderful, helpful & understanding wife. I think she loves me even after all these yrs. I think you are right to explain to your male friends about CMT. If it scares them off, maybe that just saves grief later on. It can be a test of the depth of their love for you. I know someone is out there who will love you for who you are rather than what you can/cannot do. One solution about children is to adopt. I have three adopted ones, and could not love natural ones more.
