Re: temperature and CMT

[Guest guest]

My fingers also stop working when they get cold but I never associated it with

CMT since they would quickly recover when they warmed up.. Usually the CMT

symptoms are variable but on a time frame of strings of good days and bad days.

What are other people's experience?

Muscle insulates our bodies so where you lack muscle you will get colder.

Cold, stiff and eventually immobile. Those are the words right out of my

specialist mouth.

When my fingers get really cold, they stop working and then in case that is not

blatant enough, they move to excruciating pain. This all goes away pretty

quickly once they warm up. CMT or not, I need to remember to wear gloves

outside in the winter and not succumb to the " I'll just be out there for a

moment " thinking! Then again, if I don't cover my mouth in cold weather I have

an asthma attack, so I tend to think the 'fault' is with the weather, not my

various health conditions - lol!
