<< Me too, I often wondered if it was just me, but I guess not. I do however

feel a bit better when I can sleep longer. Perhaps it is the strain that we

put on all our muscles -- whether we have AFO's or not, it is still more

difficult for CMT people to get around, perhaps we all just work harder at

what everyone else does matter of factly. >>

=============

This is how that is explained by another CMTer, an occupational therapist.

" Normal nerves have hundreds of 'wires' conducting the electrical message.

With many CMTers, the message is very slow in being conducted. The problem is

that not only is the message very slow, there are barely any 'wires'

conducting the message. So, the body is having to work a lot harder to send

messages down the few wires left. The CMTer is experiencing such fatigue

because her or his body is having to work so hard to send these messages. "
