introduction

[Guest guest]

Hello to all,

I am 47 years old. I teach high school and have three terrific

daughters ages 15,18, and 20. I and was diagnosed with CMT type 1B

last year. I was the kid in elementary school that was always teased

for being clumsy. The diagnosis explained my lifelong battle poor

balance, sprained and broken ankles,and hands that feel more

comfortable in a clenched fist position. It also gave my family the

diagnosis for the mysterious illness that plagued my mother's side

for generations.

After the diagnosis, I began a strenuous exercise regimine. I am

really scared of losing mobility and I hope the intense workouts

keep that at bay. At least I am in better shape now than at any time

of my life.

I have been encouraged by reading the posts on this site. Thanks

to all of you! I am really glad to be a part of this group.
