They are shifting

I have had diabetes for over five years. In all this time I have talked to other diabetics as well as numerous doctors. I had also been to several “foot doctors”. About, a year ago I started to complain to my husband that it felt like the “bones” in my feet were starting to move or shift around. It sounded so crazy that we both kind of dismissed it, although I continued to hobble around. Now I have been diagnosed with CMT disease. Also, I have gone barefoot whenever possible, which I am sure did not help the problem. So, if you feel shifting going on in your feet, don’t wait get it checked out!

  • The effects of CMT1 - by crystal f. - (Mon, Jun 02 2008)
    My daughter just turned 2 and I worry everyday that she will have this disease. Her father is the one that carries the gene. I was told by genetic counselers that she had a 50/50 chance of getting the gene from him. I was also told that it affects boys more than girls. I know she will be able to live a normal life and I know she will not die from this, but I don’t know what to expect and I just feel totally unprepared and ignorant about this disease. I want to be able to help her and comfort her but how can I when Im so clueless as to what is going on inside her. I know they can be tested for this, at what age can I do that and what kind of test is it? [more..]
