Welcome

[Guest guest]

, a warm welcome to you, I am always happy to meet another

artist.

Thanks for introducing yourself. I have CMT 2 (diagnosed from

EMG/NCV's,) but my diagnosis was as a child. I'm 54, haven't had what

I once feared as " progression " . For the last 24 or so years, have been

involved in regular exercise programs - plus have always biked, hiked,

swam, and horsebackriding on my own. For the last 15 or so years have

really put effort into nutritional needs, tossed the junk (slowly!)

and feel very good. For the last 10 years I've been taking Vitamin E

1000 IU daily, and since May 06 started a B and C complex. I also

drink nothing but Fijiwater (also for 10 years now) it has good

amounts of Magnesium, Calcium and Silica that have proven beneficial

to me.

Have not had the genetic test. It appeared on the scene much

later/after my childbearing years. Growing up I didn't have much info

on CMT, there were some theories floating around it " might be "

genetic, but I appear to be the only one in my family (now deceased)

Nonetheless, I chose not to have children because I " intuited " I would

pass it on to offspring.

There are only a handfull of CMT 2 subtypes currently known.
