But then with CMT symptoms vary greatly even within the same family. And there are so many types of it. I have one of the most common types.
By reading this posts, it seems as though when I read generic symptoms online that fit CMT you don't quite fit into that category. I thought legs were impacted most in CMT and foot abnormalities seemed common, causing gait issues. And it seems your progression has been slow? I am not sure. I need to read back through some of your posts so you don't have to rehash all your symptoms. I guess I should have probably focused on "symptoms can vary greatly between family members" when reading online. Sometimes reading things online can be misleading, I assume. I need to start reading more scientific, peer reviewed resources and journals. And you are right, there are so many types and variants. I am happy you do not currently suffer in your arms or hands. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Thanks for your input in my case.
