I just noticed the mention of axonal. CMT type 2 is axonal, which is what I have. As Kitt mentioned CMT is also called hereditary sensory motor neuropathy. It seems as if everyone with CMT has trouble with stairs. The first muscles to be affected are often the ones that lift the foot, which is why so many people wear ankle-foot orthotics. My half- sister wore leg braces from childhood, and I am planning on going to an orthotist as I am dragging my feet more lately, which will lead to a fall sooner or later.
