Default Newbie :) currently undiagnosed (suspected CMT)

Hi everyone!

I discovered both the Psych Central and Neuro Talk forums today

I'm Tam, I'm 34 and currently in hospital. I started noticing tingling in my hands and feet, and some weakness, about 8 weeks ago. In the last two weeks, the weakness (especially on my left side) became rapidly worse. I can barely walk, and the nerve pain is quite bad. Starting Lyrica tonight.

At this point in time, the neuro thinks that I might have Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease. Apparently I have the high arches and clawed toes that can be a sign of this disease. I'm in the process of having many tests, the next one is the electro-myography.

I also have Bipolar Disorder Type 1, hence joining the other forum too
