Welcome

[Guest guest]

Hi and welcome . Thanks so much for writing us your introduction.

I can sure relate to the burning, hurting feet. I use different things

at different times - I do take a medication for this which helps, but

there are still days/times the 'burning' is felt more - how wierd is

this - even when I am working out in the pool! So, I use Biofreeze,

sometimes Arnica, in my garden I hold the cold hose over my feet, even

in the winter, I use ice packs on my feet. I also keep a bottle of my

body lotion in the fridge which is soothing for my feet too.

You get fatigue is a major issue with CMT. This is how it was explained

to me once: We are fatigued because CMT muscles work twice as hard to

do half the work.

While I do not have children, my friends Heidi, and Sally do,

also many others here, and I'm certain they will jump in and perhaps

give you some suggestions on pacing yourself and caring for your little

ones.

I would encourage you to be open, honest and frank with your husband on

the CMT issues. , do not try to do everything. Your husband

needs to learn about CMT so he can help you if/when you need it, and do

not be afraid to ask for his help.

Thanks again for introducing yourself - have a look through our site,

Files, past messages, links, photos, polls, etc.

I hope you find to be a very positive learning experience.
