Re: Connection between CMT and Sleep apnea

[Guest guest]

In theory, it does have a correlation. I am not sure about the exact stats. I am

also curious if anyone experience this problem as well?

Yes, there is. Many people with CMT have Sleep Apnea. Check through some of the

257 past posts on this.

Not sure about apnea, but fatigue is part of the CMT package ...

Hello All,

I suspected this some years ago and had a sleep survey done where they

put electrodes all over your head. They found that it was not sleep apnea so

much as it was muscle jerks going on. A small dose of Neurontin and Skelaxin

were prescribed with success which I have been doing for several years. The

medical plan formalary dropped the Skelaxin so I now use a very small dose of

Flexural to avoid the drowsiness the following day. This works to but

occasionally I get some spasms if I've done too much during the previous day.

I have sleep apnea not bad but I use a C-pap machine and it still not working

and know they want to do another study.I told the doctor I have CMT .He knew a

little but understood what I was saying.Any ideas.I know he's my doctor but if I

already had one do I need to do another one?

Thanks,
