My Introduction

[Guest guest]

Hi. My name is Don, I live in Canada. I'm 40 years old and was diagnosed

with CMT earlier this year. I race canoes, so I went to my Doctor thinking I

had some sort of pinched nerves causing numbness in my fingers and the

bottoms of my feet. He sent me for tests, etc.....

This is the second group I've belonged to that dealt with CMT. The

first one just had too many e-mails, even in digest version. Many of them

didn't deal with CMT (I'm not complaining!) so I spent a lot of time sorting

through non-CMT stuff.

I'm glad for this forum. I've read lots of your past e-mails and appreciate

the level of discussion. I think the sunday quotes are a great thing. I'm

always looking for any alternative methods of treating CMT, and am presently

trying some supplements I read about in research on another kind of

neuropathy. I'm trying Co-enzyme Q-10, Alpha Lipoic acid, and Gamma Lineolic

acid. I saw references here to a book by A. Senneff, " Nutrients for

Neuropathy " . Has anyone read it, and does it talk specifically about

CMT-related neuropathy?

I have lots of other questions. I'll pace them out so as not to overwhelm

everyone. Thanks for letting me be part of this forum.
