Ok so I have a "disease" (I hate using that word because it makes it sound worse than it actually is) called C.M.T. It stands for Charcot-Marie-Tooth (named after the 3 scientists who discovered it). It's a periphreal neuropathy which means that the nerves from my spinal cord to the rest of my body are not sending messages from the rest of body to my brain and back again. It's the reason why I fall down on the time. While that is irritating as hell, especially when it involves yet another sprained ankle, but that's not what really bothers me. What bothers me is the pain. It's one of the symptoms. For me it's mostly in my knees and ankles. It gets worse when in rains and when it gets cold (which is one of the main reasons why I hate winter). Today for some reason though it's been my hip. Thank the Lord for heating pads. However, I just wish I didn't have to deal with this!!
