Prognosis is usually positive. Take care of yourself and exercise. Again, each genetic code is different. Each individuals symptoms will be different.

CMT is a slowly progressive disease. This means you will weaken over time, but with exercise this can be slowed. Some people may end up using a wheelchair, but few permanently. Most will need some kind of aid as they age, and as the effects of aging make their appearance, the disease can seem to worsen. It isn’t - normal aging also weakens muscles.

I expect that I will have to have another surgery when I get order. I have already had one where I had a double foot surgery one summer. This is a progressive condition but they are not sure how fast my my progress. They believe I have a different type of CMT than what they are aware of. I have to have more genetic testing done to be sure. Along with that they do not know where in my family and has came from so it might be a spontaneous account of CMT

CMT is chronic, congenital and progressive.
However it affects people in different ways and to different degrees.
Many CMT sufferers don't even know they have it!

VARIES WIDELY. FROM NOT NOTICEABLE TO OTHERS TO SO SEVERE IT PERMANENTLY AND SEVERELY LIMITS MOBILITY. IT CAN KILL WHEN IT AFFECTS A PERSON'S ABILITY TO BREATHE WITH CERTAIN SUB-TYPES.
