CHARCOT-MARIE TOOTH
DISEASE – CMT
An unusual disease to
match an unusual set of symptoms
Rather an unexpected stumbling across this one and had
literature in my possession that covered it but mentions of mainly children
being affected caused me NOT to look into it.
However it seems I was too hasty in this and here is the
neurological disorder I am now 100% convinced, not often I state 100% I can
assure you, is what has been affecting me for some time now.
Those that I have that came as a surprise to see listed
under the same list of symptoms for the above disease that to say came as a
complete shock certainly was an understatement!
Bare in mind these are things that I have long since been reluctant
to divulge out of fear of sounding like a hypochondriac and even has been
insinuated as by use of the word psychosomatic!
This was a little report I typed out earlier after giving this some serious though throughout the day!
