Gretchen and , This is not scientifically supported, but I can tell you

something from my own experience that I noticed before I ever knew I had CMT.

When I was younger and could actually party at night and work the next day, I

always noticed that my legs hurt real bad if I drank a lot. I would tell

other people and they would say that never happened to them. I just thought

it was really odd, then ten years ago I was diagnosed and put it all

together. Drinking definitely caused pain for me. C
