Re: Insomnia and callouses

July 22, 2000

About the insomnia, I'd rather be awake half the night, than go through the

nightmares. I am trying to discover what is triggering the nightmares, but

they have been going on about the last few nights. Strange night terrors,

that, upon awakening, I would swear, that they were real. Anyway, the

insomnia, I found that it was my diet, not CMT, and sometimes just plain

stress. Meditation has been a blessing for me. It calms me and after a 30

minutes, I am able to go back to sleep. It also helps that my husband rubs my

back and when I cramp, he rubs the cramp away. He is my miracle. I too have

callouses on the bottom of my feet and as of this minute, am trying another

foot forms, that my foot doctor wants me to try, to relieve some of the

pressure on the balls of my feet. Although, some of the foot forms, I try are

uncomfortable, I answer all of his questions and let him " play " with my feet,

so he can get an idea of how each foot form works, just the basics. My

doctor and I are making it possible for the next patient he has, that has

CMT, to have an easier time finding the right forms for them. My foot doctor

says I have classic CMT feet. I've always had callouses, and not until about

5 years ago, did I start to walk on the outter edges of my feet.Well Take

Care all of you. Michele
