Guest guest Posted July 21, 2000 Report Share Posted July 21, 2000 , about your toes cramping. When mine do that I found that it helps to pull on my toes. Pull up and out. It might be uncomfortable, but it will release the cramps in the toes and should allow them to not feel so tight. My hubby was reading a massage book and read this and tried it on me and it worked. I was very very thankfull. I hope it works for you. Jeanie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2000 Report Share Posted July 22, 2000 Again, you're not on your own. Sometimes I sit there and my legs have to move, stretching etc and I have CMTII as well. Interesting Sue Re: Restless leg syndrome Hi, Kat. This is a reply to an older message (#2605) about restless leg syndrome. You said " people with Restless Leg Syndrome usually do NOT have CMT. " My grandmother (questionable CMT), my mother (CMT II) and I (CMT II) have all had RLS all our lives. Mine usually comes on when I'm tired and if I take a couple Tylenol and a nap, it will go away. Mother often has RLS for no discernable reason, most anytime of the day, even in her sleep. Don't know if it is caused or exacerbated by CMT, but we've got it - big time!

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2000 Report Share Posted July 22, 2000 Sometimes though the drugs you're taking can make you sweat profusely.

I get that too ... wierd feeling, isn't it? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 22, 2000 Report Share Posted July 22, 2000 And I can supply the paint Sue Re: Restless leg syndrome , My toes curl specially on my left foot. During the day I have a soft sponge comb. Kind of like the ones that people use to paint their toenails. It keeps my toes streight, and they don't cramp. My hubby knows where to get these. He is not home now. If you are interested, I will ask him. How is Ella? oregonpapa@... wrote: Hey, thanks for the tip, Jeanie ...
