Guest guest Posted March 10, 2000 Report Share Posted March 10, 2000 Hello I am new to CMTUS. I have been following the CMTA discussion forum for awhile. Just to introduce myself. I am 28 and was diagnosed with CMT when I was about 12 but first developed symptoms when I was 7. I have muscle atrophy in my hands and lower legs and have had reconstructive surgeries for all. I also have paralysis of my vocal chord muscles. This has left my vocal chords in a talking posistion (luckily I can still talk fine) but I have difficulty breathing and have had a tracheotomy since I was 14. I am very physically active and have made efforts not to let CMT stop me. I work on a trail crew for North Cascades National park and have been a wilderness backcountry ranger in the past. I bike, ski, snowboard, and just returned from two months trekking in Nepal. I am looking forward to being apart of this group.
