Guest guest Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 Hi , I am not a medical expert, but I can relay to you what my trained nutritionist said to me. Apparently there could be similarities in symptoms, for example atrophy, numbness, etc. However, the blood tests for MS have a very distinguished " tag " to them. In my blood tests, she said although she had done research on MS as a part of her training, and she read all the literature I sent her on CMT and protein/neural relations, that she was surprised to see absolutely no " tag " in my readings, which she said is always there for an MS patient. Anyway, I know there are so many different types of CMT, awareness of doctors varies, etc - but I thought I would relay this advice that I received. For what it is worth, I have modified my eating though to resemble an " MS " style diet, cutting out most (not all - I like to cook too much for that) saturated fats, and pretty much all dairy too. Good luck to you and your sister. My thoughts are with you both. - Donna from London Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
