Guest guest Posted May 4, 2005 Report Share Posted May 4, 2005 & all: I had a similar experience when I told my doctor I had Charcot Marie Tooth. He said I'll look at your teeth next. So what did he know? He was a urologist! in the land of the Illini Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 4, 2005 Report Share Posted May 4, 2005 , My god, what some people wont do. But my Uncle had CMT as a child, then got hit with polio on top of it. Let's just say we are blessed with only CMT. Elaine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 4, 2005 Report Share Posted May 4, 2005 I know I get so sick of it too. I have had it since age 12 and have heard for years " What is wrong with your teeth? " Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 funny and understandable-my ss worker told me that after 17 yrs. " you are the first person I have ever heard of to get 100% disability for teeth problems and on your 1st try to boot " . I have wished many times that I had not educated him. I tried to help a woman to get sober as a favor to her mother and she was dismayed that I received disability so fast. She felt it was unfair that after 5 yrs of fighting them she could not get SS and I was in better shape than her. When I am really having a bad day I think it would give me a smile to picture all those really mistreated people hearing about a 48 yr old man who got full disability for a tooth ache on his 1st try and was at the top $ amt,(of course I worked hard and paid the max nearly every year in the 70's, 80's and early 90's, 52 now) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
