Guest guest Posted January 3, 2005 Report Share Posted January 3, 2005 Hi all...my name is Cyndie. I am the mother of , 35 with CMT. cannot read or write for himself as he also has mental retardation with multiple disabilities. He has wonderful social skills and has been very active in school and social programs since birth. His diagnosis of CMT was made after puberty but we were told by a podiatrist that he should finish growing before anything could done to correct. I believed that. The progression was fast and constant until another podiatrist prescribed leg braces. He wore them for two to three years. The progression was fast constant............ He now is unable to work or leave home without the braces. His falling down scares him. To my knowledge, no one is our family has CMT except for an uncle with " high arches " . has been the lucky one! God love him..... Surgery is scheduled for Feb. 10 Im so glad to have found this website. Ive been reading the information and have learned more here than anywhere else in twenty years. A lot has happened since then. Thanx for taking the time to read my intro. Lets all have a GREAT NEW YEAR. cyndie __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
