RSS Feed Norm for Norman
Already into Episode 3 of Season 2.
We are pleased today to have our Guest Norman Hume, martin and Patrick have Known and worked with Norman for 30 years, Martin's childhood Dentists assistant was Norman's wife Anne.
Norman has finally (after the second attempt) agreed to come onto the podcast and tell us about his very rare illness diagnosed as a young boy and the complaints he suffers with today.
Norm has a rare illness called Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease
Norman also has some additional illnesses which include Bronchiectasis, Prostate Cancer and Heart failure.
Martin and Patrick meet Norman at the local hostelry and have a very comfortable and informal chat where Norman speaks honestly and openly about his illness, the diagnosis and living with the diseases.
Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) is a group of inherited conditions that damage the peripheral nerves, which are located outside of the brain and spinal cord. It's also known as hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy (HMSN) or peroneal muscular atrophy (PMA). CMT is the most common inherited neurological disorder, affecting about one in 2,500 people.
Bronchiectasis is a long-term condition where the airways of the lungs become widened, leading to a build-up of excess mucus that can make the lungs more vulnerable to infection.
Prostate cancer is a disease that occurs when malignant cells form in the prostate gland, a walnut-sized organ that's part of the male reproductive system. It's the most common cancer in men in the UK, and some trans women and non-binary people (who were born male) can also develop it.
Heart failure is a condition where your heart can’t pump blood around your body as well as it should. It doesn’t mean your heart has stopped working but you may need support to help it work better.
Finally we do get a chance to slip in Martin's joke of the week.
