CMT:
CMT1A is a rare (1:5,000) hereditary motor and sensory demyelinating peripheral neuropathy (also known as Hereditary Motor and Sensory Neuropathy, HMSN) which is caused by an intrachromosomal duplication and consecutive toxic overexpression of the PMP22 gene on chromosome 17. CMT1A is one of the most common inherited peripheral nerve-related disorders which is passed down through families in an autosomal dominant fashion. CMT1A disease becomes evident in young adulthood and slowly progresses with distally pronounced muscle weakness and numbness. Pain can range from mild to severe. The disease can be highly debilitating with patients becoming wheel chair-bound and is often accompanied by severe cases of neurological pain. There is no known cure for this incapacitating disease.
Hi Tya,
ReplyDeleteI've been watching your videos on youtube for awhile now and just saw your Can I Walk Again vid. I think it's awesome that you are going to try! I think it's awesome that you are going to try and fight, follow your heart, and not give in to what the doctors say.
Wishing you much love and luck!

Much love and soothing energies are coming your way! Just because they are called a doctor doesn't mean they are always right! You can do it!
