teens, memory, welcome, meds

[Guest guest]

alisha here,

first of all welcome natilee. to tell u a bit about myself i am 16!!! i live

in canada and have x-linked cmt. i was diagnosed in 1997 by EMG and DNA

testing. i use a walker Sam to get around only for mobility but everyone

else in the entire school thinks that i can't walk without it though expect

for my friends. i also sometimes use a wheel chair. i am now dealing with

cmt, depression, memory loss and loss of conentration. for the memory loss

and loss of conentration i don't know what is causing it but i hope to find

out. i am on 150mg of effexor an anti-depressant. i am able to drive and

have great friends to support me now. i belong to other cmt lists and its

great b/c so much is talked about and u can learn so much more about

yourself and the cmt. i have a psychologist and tomorrow i go for an urgent

constilation (sp?) for a psychriast (sp?). i feel that my depression is

getting worse and i can't control my life. my relationship w/ my parents has

just gone chaotic (sp?). we justor should i say i just can't talk to them

and its really hard right now for me. i have exams coming up at the end of

the month and w/ the memory problems i could fail or get incompletes on them

and may never get through high school. i then may not be able to finish

schooling and become a genetic councellor. this is now so hard for me to go

through and i have a boyfriend i guess u could say but its over the internet

b/c no real guy can accept me for who i am. so many problem sorry to bore u

all .
