Guest guest Posted February 10, 2001 Report Share Posted February 10, 2001 CMT is not just physical problems for me either, but there have been and still are lots of things that I have not and can not do. So CMT has controlled my lifestyle, by not being able to do things that I would love to do. Essential tremor, which I've always had, has kept me from doing things. Even though we all have CMT, some of us are not as weak as others. It's different for each of us. My daughter is much stronger than I, always has been. I'm thankful for that. But there are lots of things that she can't do either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 13, 2001 Report Share Posted February 13, 2001 Hi Everyone, Gretchen sorry for the delay in replying to your post. I don`t think you understood my original post, I was saying that in choosing to say that you did not let CMT affect your lifestyle gives the impression that we can decide how much we are affected. CMT is a physical condition over which we have no control of the progression so we cannot say that any one of us `lets` CMT affect us. Emotional problems, depression etc. can be very real aspects of dealing with a physical disability but are not strictly symptoms of the condition. I can`t deny that if you have emotional problems dealing with CMT then the physical symptoms may appear much worse than they actually are so when you come to terms with your feelings, the physical problems will appear to improve. I don`t have emotional problems, just physical ones and the way my lifestyle is restricted is beyond my control. I really just wanted you to think about your choice of words particularly as you are such a high profile CMTer. Joyce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 7, 2002 Report Share Posted January 7, 2002 's butt is no bum dealby Simpson 's bottom has started a booming industry in silicone buttock implants in the US. I want her bum: 's butt is a favourite. 's shapely rear is seen by men and woman alike as the best in the business, and plastic surgeons say they are experiencing a huge increase in orders for bigger bottoms. One of New York's top plastic surgeons, Bruce Nadler, tells New York's Blender magazine that J-Lo, 31, is doing for the butt what Pamela did for the breast. Buttock implants cost anything from £3,000 to £10,000 - a pair.
