Guest guest Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 I have 5 children also. Yeah that's right I also have 5. My CMT was much better when I was pregnant. I did trip twice but once was not my fault at all. Both times I fell on my knees. I try to be very very careful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 Hello, I have five children, yes that is right 5. Anyhow when I was pregnant my symptoms were so much better it was like the CMT disappeared. I just thought I would put forth my thoughts and feelings on this issue. I still think a possible hormone replacement therapy would work for a cure for CMT or at least for some people. Me and my kids the two that have CMT trip and fall so much we just naturally laugh at each other we can not help it. It has just become part of it. I guess we find humour in our weakness so to speak. I for one need to have a sense of humour or what else would be left. I can laugh it off. I fall all the time it is just a part of me now. No biggie. I find myself off balance a lot and I always say " I am at it again and I don't even drink " . People that know me laugh because it is true. I suppose I feel really good about myself and I don't worry about what everyone thinks. I know for some people this is hard, for me it is not. I guess having 5 kids got me over that fast. LOL.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 So glad that several of you felt better during pregnancy. I felt pretty good during pregnancy, but my CMT issues remained the same...or so I thought. After having the baby, the disease progressed. Have a boy and a girl...perfect:) No more pregnancies for me! I am amazed at you girls with 5+ kiddos. Two wipes me out, but that is great! If I had started earlier in life, I may have had more too...they are a blessing. Careful with the tripping/falling...I fell 2 months after having my daughter and broke my leg very badly. I am just now walking again and that was June. Not fun! Take Care! Amy Hodge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
