Guest guest Posted May 9, 2000 Report Share Posted May 9, 2000 I have been reading posts for a couple of weeks but this is the my first time to write. I was diagnosed with CMT in 1998. Although I have known for years that there was something wrong. I have known for about 10 years what I had since my aunt was diagnosed and I had the same symptoms. For many years ,I am 33 and have had problems that I can remember since about 12, I have went through cycles of hurting feet for a couple of months and then I would be fine for several months. In the past year it has been a steadily increasing problem and my hands are now affected. I have problems with tripping over my own feet, if I try to stand in one spot I fall, climbing stairs has become impossibe,I drop things,my hands are shaky especially when I am carrying something. I am in the process of applying for SSD I had another EMG last Friday and went to see about braces yesterday. Two years ago I was telling my husband this is not going to affect me that much. I can work with it. Then in NOvember of 1999 I found that after work I couldn't even walk up the front steps to get in the house when I got home from work. I was pushing my body so hard at work that when I wasn't working I couldn't do any thing. I have found lots of interesting posts here and can relate to most. I will be visiting often.
