Matt,

Hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy (HMSN) is also known as Charcot Marie

Tooth disease (CMT). It was formerly known as Peroneal Muscular Atrophy.

CMT is progressive, slowly, sometimes faster depending on each individual's

unique genetic code. Stress, poor nutrition, some medications and negative

emotions can make progression worse. Many of us choose healthy lifestyles and

work very hard on this personal committment. Some people use Vitamins,

supplements, and other therapies like acupuncture, massage, exercise in

moderation, paying attention to diet and getting enough rest.
