Guest guest Posted January 27, 2000 Report Share Posted January 27, 2000 Hello. My name is Dimitrios, 32 years old and I am from Greece. I diagnosed with CMT type II last April after a biopsy (neuro) and an EMG. My mother (who died when she was 44 years old because of heart disease) had CMT. I have two sisters. The older one (38 years old) hasn' t CMT and the younger one (36 years old) has CMT. We do not know anything about their children. The symptoms I have, are pain and burning feelings (down the knees). In the same area, I can't feel the cold and the hot. Because of the pain I have two main problems: I can't work and I can't sleep in the nights. My doctor gave to me some medicines such as Neurontin and Saroten but the result wasn't what I expected (they decreased, not disappeared the pain and the burning feeling). So I stopped them for a while. Now I am looking for a new beginning (new job). If there is someone like me with CMT II, i would like to have a conversation with him/her because i have some questions about food, drugs, physical exercises, e.c.t. I also want to give you congratulation about this site. It is very nice and very helpful to all the CMTers and their families. Thank you all!
