My 2 sentence answer for the curious

[Guest guest]

Hi Kat - oh something like " I have Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease affecting

the job of nerves and muscles in my feet. This means I have trouble

walking... " - I just say it real fast, so the 'tooth' part doesn't get

any attention! LOL. And then I add at the end a bit of humour to break

the word 'disease' I say " don't worry, you can't catch it! " (LOL)

People are just curious what is 'wrong' - if they suddenly get worried

or wonder more then I add " I was born with it " . Sometimes then they

might ask " does it hurt " to which I reply " sometimes " .
