Does the place you live affect CMT differently?

[Guest guest]

Hi! This is Betania. I have a question that might be seem senseless but I need

to ask. Does any of you think that the area were you live (countries) affect

CMT differently?

I lived in USA for the last 20 years and moved to Switzerland a year and a half

ago. I declined a lot while here but, I heard that's normal at my age (39), a

sudden onset. The reason for my question is, that I had to travel to NY for a

month due to a family matter, to my surprise, while in NY I was able to function

just like I did when I lived there.

I could walk without the numbness and pain for longer periods (a lot longer)

here in Swiss after half a block I am already limping, one of my feet feel like

wood, plus numb and I get this weird sensation that every step is like a lottery

were I might fall.

I just would appreciate if any of you could give it a little thought and see if

you feel worse or better depending on the area. I have to say I found out the

altitude here in Switzerland is greater than in many places.

Thanks in advance, any opinion would be highly appreciated.
