Welcome Angie/fingers/legs

[Guest guest]

Welcome Angie,

The tingling is just coming from the nerves. It is not an indication of

progression or that progression will worsen. It is just a symptom of the

neuropathy. CMT symptoms can be very idiopathic - my own symptoms have come and

gone, sometimes come back, then go away. You will learn to listen to your body

over time and know what to do.

I have found that exercise of all extremities is very beneficial for

me, besides cardio and resistance training.

A physical therapist can show you some simple exercises to keep your fingers

flexible - these are best done in warm water, and regularly. You can even do

them in a hottub or bathtub.

As for your leg cramps - try drinking a glass of Tonic water before bed. Tonia

water has quinine in it and the quinine helps leg cramps as well as restless

legs. If you get a little relief, ask your neurologist about prescription

quinine for this.
