May sound like complaining, but need help!

Teri, hi,

Your immune AND nervous system may need rest. I mean in the form of

sleep. And naps. Sleep has a magical restoring power. More sleep can

also reduce fatigue. Perhaps also starting to drink water throughout

the day would help cleanse some of the toxins out.

Physical therapy or an exercise program may " jump start " your energy,

too, but remember, persons with CMT muscles have to work twice as hard

as a non-CMT person, so pacing oneself throughout the day on all your

activities may help too. Start slow in PT/exercise. And good to stop smoking

too.

Vitamin B12 * may * possibly be a supplement you wish to try. But ask

your doc first. Also, perhaps Iron supplements, but again ask the doc

to check your levels, maybe also have your Thyroid checked.

My husband is on Provigil, and it seems to help with the fatigue. He splits a

100 mg in half. I read about it being good for fatigue of CMT in this

newsletter.
