Guest guest Posted March 2, 2000 Report Share Posted March 2, 2000 Yes, Peggy, I agree stress is a killer! I was wondering what kind of symptoms you had when you experienced the progression coming back. This is helpful info for me so if I'm feeling something I might not just try to ignore it (I'm pretty good at ignoring). Thanks, Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2000 Report Share Posted March 3, 2000 Hi Marc. Peggie here. It's kind of hard to remember.... but, along with the shooting nerve pain that danced all over my body, I also had great fatique - just did me in to get to work and in half an hour, was exhausted for the day. Also had vibrating numbness that keep me from typing on electric typewiter, as made it unbearable. Legs quit working, numbness all over. Was just about all the CMT symtoms all at once. I guess I could tell you that when you are exhausted after getting up and dressed, that would be a good indication you are heading for trouble. I could tell I was worse almost each day... meaning each day I was a little worse then the day before. And I kept pushing it - for a few months. When you are fighting that hard, and have that much pain, along with the fatique, you need to STOP what you are doing EVERYTHING, and regroup. I think if I hadn't kept on for at least 3 months after it got real bad, it probably wouldn't have exclerated as bad as it did. I can tell you, that after I quit my job, and got rid of that stress, a month or so later, I did feel like a new person. Many people claim you don't have any improvements when you have CMT, but, I know that I have had improvements. Of course, the shooting nerve pain was about he worse thing of it's self, and the amitripline took care of that (and still does mostly), and the relief of fighting that pain helped relieve some of the other symtoms. So, if you get beat, slow down and take a break and if you can tell the difference, then you know that it helped you. All my symtoms were all over my body, so I can't say any one thing.....
