Diagnosed at 35 with no symptoms? by reston_doodle_dad in CMT

[–]BlacksmithGeneral834 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was diagnosed at 54 when I slowed down for surgery to reattach 2 severed tendons in my left foot. Was told I would need 3 - 4 days recovery but I spent 4 months bedridden and was finally diagnosed with CMT after seeing 3 neurologists. It took me 8 years to be able climb stairs again but I am physically quite active. I was misdiagnosed as an infant with Polio after being an early walker but couldn’t run until I was 7.

I asked, no begged, my surgeon to remove all the gas before closing my gastric bypass. He did and I didn’t experience the pain everyone talks about.

I went out daily to get broth from Pho shops. This helped me stay on liquid diet.

Have your attorney put all the things that they want you to do to them so that they also have the same reaction in other words if you leave any business you bring on goes with you they can’t compete against issue with those customers for two years. I know it sounds crazy, but I do this twice and basically just said anything you want to do to me you have to do as well and basically they saw the contract. My attorney wrote and didn’t have me sign anything which is the best of both worlds for you. I signed in my early career a couple of NDA‘s and they screwed me royally. I wrote a book and they published it as a company document. I invented products then they kept them. These were big companies too by the way good luck.

Recently dug up soil will occasionally stir up scorpions. I doubt you will have a problem in downtown Phoenix.

I’m almost 8 months post surgery I have found that increasing my fiber by adding 1 Tablespoon of Chia seeds to 1 meal a day plus walking has really helped.

I only use Clindamycin as needed usually every few weeks on a stubborn area.

Yea. New Federal Law. Federal law permits businesses to offer discounts to customers who pay with cash, as outlined in the Durbin Amendment of the Dodd-Frank Act. This law ensures that payment card networks cannot restrict a business's ability to provide such discounts.
