I am a recovering alcoholic of 14 years now !!! I was a full blown alcoholic that lived only for that drink for most of my younger life !!! I know that has alot to do with the way I am today, with CMT and nerve damage !!! Take it from someone that has been there, done that!!! It ain't worth it !!!

I soak them in hot water, wear heavy socks, insulated NIKE air walk hiking boots for ankle support, ETC. !!!My feet are warm only when I get up in the morning !!! 30 minutes later >>> FROOZE !!!

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2000 Report Share Posted January 25, 2000 Bravo, Kim!! You've got three years or so on me. I quit the vicious cycle of living to drink and dying from it in the summer of '88. I too am recovering. I too think I amplified my symptoms. But since I took a look at what I was doing, everything has gotten better. I can truly appreciate my life, CMT or not, another fall or not. No comparison. I have seen those who were much worse off than I and they had both their feet! All I can say is that it could always be worse...

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2000 Report Share Posted January 26, 2000 TO: REGAN, MD: Congrads on your time sober, also !!! Sure enough feels better sober than dead drunk all the time!!! Having CMT is NO COMPARISON!!! You know, I can remember all those times (while drunk), falling flat on my face!!! At least now, I have a reason for falling!!! I watch myself and don't push it to the extremes !!! Take care !!! LATER>>>KIM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2000 Report Share Posted January 28, 2000 Hi Kim, I find that my left ankle is gets really cold, I don't think that is bad circulation, because every so often it gets warm. My right ankle is always very hot, I had a triple arthrodesis on it a year ago last September, and I have been told that it is unusual to have so much heat in the ankle so long after surgery. I does have a good side though, when I get into bed and I have a cold left foot, I just put it on top of the right foot, and that soons warms it up!!!
