Re: CMT Sameness and Differences....and When?

[Guest guest]

I had gait, ataxia and balance issues in my teens (at one point I was

re-diagnosed with Frederick's Ataxia), plus major fatigue, had alot of physical

therapy, plus needed extra sleep. When I was 19 the tremors came on. Now that

I'm 57, I have no gait,ataxia or balance issues, nor immense fatigue (yes, I put

in a very full day) I do need 'quality' sleep, not so much quantity, the tremors

have been controlled by medication since I was 35.

I have exercised faithfully over the years 3-4 times a week at the pool, bike

riding, horse riding, hikes, walks, a bit of yoga at one time, some ski

conditioning, some Pilates, etc. Year round now I'm in the pool for an indoor

aquatic circuit program and weather pending I'm also on my bike.

I still type/write quickly, and just resumed playing piano. LOL, but my only

'issue' is * age related * - I have a pair of eye glasses in every room so I can

read the small print on labels, newspapers, recipies, music sheets, paint, sew,

etc. My eyes are still changing so for now this works.

Great to hear what makes life works for you. I do need 'quality' sleep

also. I had abandoned deep water running but I think I'll re-start.

Thanks for your responses. I pay close attention to them all.
