introduction

[Guest guest]

Hi!

I'm new on this site, so I thought I'd be apropriate to introduce

myself. I'm a 19 years old student from Austria diagnosed with CMT

(actually, HMSN, but it's quite the same, isn't it?). I don't have

much problems with it. Of course I can't walk long distances by now,

I think that's going to change when I got my brace. (really

looking forward to it).

I thought it's great to talk to some about the whole topic because I

think there are a lot who have much more experience on it than me.

Yeah, Next year I'm going to New York to become a director. I kno it

sounds a little like a little boys dream but I'm gonna make it! I

made some short movies myself. I think the disease sucks, but on the

other hand it gave me something I wouldn't have got otherwise -

Motivation! Since I've got CMt, or since I noticed I have it, I

really achieve almost everything I want to becaue the way of

thinking to never give up pretty works on me. I smoked for 9 months

but quitted it and never smoked a cigarette again, I drink barely

alcohol as well.

I also have a question. Since three weeks or so my trigger finger

jerks some times and some of my muscels in my right hand hurt more

often than usual, what's wrong. I'm a little freaked out that this

remains! But It started after I tipped a lot on my computer for

school, it also came out of the blue and there is no effect on my

left hand. Does anybody have any axperience with it? Something to do

against? Like vitamine B12 or a camomile bath ()

Wanna know what's my biggest fear. My biggest fear is to end up

alone (unloved) in an appartment with no light, no fresh air and

without to ability to do anything alone. It really scares me,

because I don't wanna end like this. I wanna have fun, I wanna visit

the world, undergo adeventures and of course give and recieve love.

Is there anybody who can tell me that this is so not going to be? I

really need a little cheer up.

Another question is, has anybody tried acupuncture or any other

holistic chinese methode so far? I'm really interessted in it.

So, I think that's enough so far. Maybe I get some answeres to my

question, would be really nice.

Yours,

Greg
