Guest guest Posted February 19, 2000 Report Share Posted February 19, 2000 Hi everyone, for those of you that are new to CMT and Peripheral Neuropathy, you might find this book a good resource. " Numb Toes, Aching Soles " by Senneff. He just has PN of which CMT is a type of PN. (PN meaning Peripheral Neuropathy) His PN came on in the mid-80s. But it's got a decent crash course in neurology and describes some things that can help - some of which we have talked about on this list. I am just telling you about it thinking you might glean some things from it. I got my copy from and Noble.com ($19.95) Amazon.com has it too.

He does caution people as well, but CMT has enough problems to need to be extra cautious. Here is the direct route to Dorothy Gosling's review of " Numb Toes and Aching Soles. " http://members.medinex.com/members/d/g/o/dgosling/bookrevu.html " For a person with CMT, this book can provide detailed insight into the damage that is caused to their nerves by CMT, the pain which is often associated with CMT, and different pain treatments which are available for a disease which causes nerve damage. Ideas for coping with CMT are also covered, and it provides methods for preventing complications from CMT. However, there are several areas of the book which are not applicable to CMT or any Hereditary Neuropathy. Please be aware that, while reading this book may give you a good understanding of the nerve damage, some of the treatments that are mentioned for Peripheral Neuropathy in general, have been shown to actually cause more damage to CMT affected nerves. For this reason the reader with CMT should be very cautious about using any of the treatments mentioned and should consult their doctor before using any of the treatments.
