Guest guest Posted June 12, 2004 Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 I was at the University MDA clinic yesterday (finally got an appt.) and asked the Dr. about taking Vit C. She asked how much I was taking and I said 1000 mg. a day. She said that would not hurt me and I would just pee off any excess, and to go ahead and take it if it wanted. I asked if she knew of any benefits for CMT and she said, " No, but it is an antioxidant so it couldn't hurt. " I'm thinking this is so " new " that most physicians, even neurologists, haven't heard about it, and we are being self-guinea pigs here by taking it. My feelingss are if it works, like Colleen said, try it. What have we got to lose? I haven't noticed any huge effects, but my CMT is very mild comparatively--still walking, no AFOs, able to do most things, just aware of my limitations on certain things and don't push myself. I'm excited for the folks who are seeing dramatic results with this simple treatment. Even if it were a placebo effect, that's still a great thing. I don't think everyone will have the same results. Most things are that way--what works for one, does not for another, but it's such an easy, cheap thing to try. I'm with you Colleen--go for it!
