I joined this site to see if there are any young adults with CMT that I could talk to who understands what I go through. Or I guess anyone with CMT, if anything. I want to understand their perception, and how progressed your CMT has gotten. It's a pretty rare disoder and I am having a hard time finding other people like me. Thanks

Not in my 20's anymore (38) but made it through the Army in my early 20's with CMT. It was mild when I was younger and is getting worst but I still get along ok. Feel free to give me a shout anytime.

Diagnosed at 28 years old. Yeah it's really hard to find people near my home that are like me. No support groups available, but oh well.:) I have found it's really hard for people in gerenal/even dr. to understand what you go through or how it effects daily life. I have had symptoms for the last 7 months and they are getting progressivly worse. What symptoms do yall experience?

I am 29 with CMT type 1. I would love to talk to someone who is also experiencing the struggles of having this disease. I know exactly how it feels to think about your legs everyday, all day. Sometimes if I walk too long, my feet feel like bricks.

I'm nearly 16 lol so not quite in my 20's, but I have CMT. I'm willing to talk if you want. My cmt is pretty far advanced. My feet are completely twisted where it is difficult to walk, I've had one unsuccessful surgery and one that has my right foot straight right now. I have almost every symptom, even the ones you aren't supposed to have later in life. Lol so I know what you all are going through.
