> Norbert.. All of our stories are different, some worse then others. sometimes it just helps knowing someone is listening if even on here, cause no one understands us better then us. We are a family of our own.. I always said, ALL my docs, all 5 of them have "not normal" about me in there files, one however stated "you are unique.. soooo.. there ya go. we are unique.

Hi Brian,  
It is called Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease and is an inherited disease where the lower part of the leg wastes away. This seems to be two diseases at once for you. I cannot say “feel better”, but hope that you have only mild symptoms.
