The Livin’ on Love shared that he was diagnosed with the rare neuropathic and neurological disorder ten years ago, at the time. Alan also stated that the disease is genetic and that he inherited it from his father. He explained how CMT has been affecting him for years, but it’s been getting more “apparent.”

Alan had reassured in the interview that CMT was “not going to kill me. It’s not lethal,” but also noted that there was no cure for the disease.

According to the Charcot-Marie-Tooth Association, CMT is a disease that affects the peripheral nerves, which extend from the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body. Peripheral nerves are in charge of movement, sensation, hearing, organ function, and more. The disorder is named after the doctors Jean Martin Charcot, Pierre Marie, and Howard Henry Tooth, who discovered it in 1886.

The website further said the illness is also a neuromuscular disease and broke up the world as “neuro” referencing “nerves” and muscular referring to “CMT’s influence on skeletal muscle, such as weak spot and atrophy.” The illness causes muscle weakness, atrophy, and sensory loss, especially in the arms, hands, legs, and feet. The Association added that in some cases of CMT it can affect autonomic nerves, which are nerves that control bodily functions such as breathing and heartbeat.
