The thing about the shitty cmt thing is that I have no idea what type I am

there’s thousands of variations and I have no idea what I am

like am I the type that has blood problems? Heart problems? Breathing problems?

I know for a fact my nerves are just. Dying. But like bc of covid shit I can’t get tested (rightfully, I live in the US, covid is still. There. :( )

sad

lmao okay bye

CMT awareness:

starting small-

CMT is a nerve disease. That’s basically it. It’s a mostly invisible illness that is passed down from generation to generation. there is no cure. 1/2500 people have this disease. most people who have this disease experience pain and numbness in the legs, therefore, we are limited in our athletic abilities.

hoping to go more in depth later!

Cmt awareness:

still small-

cmt can effect emotions. Most people with cmt experience many mental disorders. lack of awareness is largely due to the emotional distress that comes with talking about it.

Okay so you know how hard it is to actually function with cmt??? Like idk, I wake up, “oh shit I can’t feel my toes” check my body parts to make sure they didn’t fall off while I slept, log on school, and since I have pHysicAl eDucAtiOn, i have to work out. “[deadname] you can do better or I’ll take points off.” Sorry madam, but I literally cannot do better. My feet, they cannot feel the literal floor. My breathing is gone. Ma’am I cannot function. Also I go by grey. ok great schools over. Yey taekwondo! The only reason I haven’t failed is because before the symptoms of my cmt progressed I took dance for 11 years. yay. I don’t like it anyway. Now we go shopping because I need new shoes. “Oh I love not being able to feel which toes are being silently ripped off And having the large majority of shoes not fit over my colossal ankle!“ “get over it youre fine“ ok. *trips every two seconds* yup yup.
