Improvement can occur in CMT

[Guest guest]

I was reading over past questions on CMT from the MDA website. Someone

asked if CMT could show improvement, based on what he had done. The

answer to the question, was given by E. Shy, M.D., Wayne State

University School of Medicine, Detroit, MI

" Improvement with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) can occur,

especially when individuals care properly for themselves including

moderate exercise, particularly cardiovascular exercise, and watch their

weight. How much improvement occurs depends in part on the severity of

their CMT, what type of CMT it is and how well conditioned they were

previously. "

What hope! ---- Gretchen
