recovering from illness/flu or virus

[Guest guest]

Hi Farley,

I haven't had any problems with recoverying from illness, flu or virus -

but after I had Rhuematic Fever in '77, it took me about 4-6 months to

regain my full " snap " . (R.F. was from a strep throat infection) While

it didn't seem to affect me CMT wise, I just remember I needed to take

naps during the day - and start cutting medications down. If anything,

I believe that an illness for those of us with CMT, causes stress on

our bodies, and it is that 'negative' stress that affects us.

As for body temperature, it is common for people with CMT to

feel " cold " . I don't have this problem - quite the opposite - but I am

sure you're going to hear from others!

Another thought I had when reading your most recent post is could the Tylenol be

making your daughter worse? Something to check out with your doctor.
