Re: managing handling coins

You know, I think we have all been lumped into a category that is neurologically

called CMT for now. Twenty years from now, the younger CMT patients will be

diagnosed with a more well-defined neuro-muscular disease. Our systems are

alike, but, again, they are so different! I have never ha leg aches. I have

such extreme neuropathy in my right hand, that I can't even go into my wallet to

dole out change at the checkout. I always give dollar bills, or have my change

ready to hand over when my car is in idle at the drive-thru. Still, half my

change ends up falling under my seats. Wonder how much $ I have under there?

LOL!!

I use dollar bills only and have a coin jar that I cash in periodically. It's a

good way to save exra money:)

I hear you Margaret! I'm 60. I have no drop foot, only progressive numbing of

feet and fingers. Perhaps the other symptoms come later? As for now picking up

or creating coin change is a real challenge at this time for me too.

More so is the challenge of just writing my name! I used to do calligraphy.

Grasping anything = " I'm not sure I've got it! " .

You are not alone.

Wheels, 60 yes old, land

Same here. I try to use a credit or debit card whenever possible, as cash & coin

are just too difficult to use sometimes.
