Bethany, welcome!

[Guest guest]

Bethany, welcome, thanks for your introduction. I enjoyed visiting

your blog and bookmarked it. You're lucky to live in the computer

age. When I was 15, I got my CMT news from docs, who didn't know

much, lol

CMT seemed too be very hard on me when I was 15. I had great fatigue,

for that I took Ritalin. For my muscles, I was taking prescription

potassium. High school was tough (academically, I mean, lots

expected), but I perservered and also had a part-time sales job in

the afternoons and weekends.

I went to a small liberal arts college, great for bike riding, and

not too far away from the stables, so I could still horsebackride. If

there's one thing I didn't get in college was sleep! There was just

so much to do, to see, to be part of (this was 1970-73). The best

part about college for me was being able to finally take meaningful

courses, and find my passion, Art History. Not to mention parties,

travel, meeting new and interesting persons, socializing, writing for

the school paper, etc. I actually felt somewhat better in college

once I stopped taking Ritalin. But then I partied too much, drank and

smoked too much pot, and didn't care for myself as best I could.

Fortunately, that all changed for the better, even my CMT. I'm 54

now, very active, workout daily, still travel, work, take Vitamin E

1000 IU everyday, plus get Magnesium, Calcium and Silica in my

artesian water, Fijiwater. (http://fijiwater.com) Been on E and the

water for 10 years. CMT wise I feel so much better than I did even

at 34. I don't know why, maybe age, wisdom (lol) or just comfortable

with 'self'. I meditate, which I believe is essential to my total

well-being.

Have a look through our Files section for CMT info and all. Sure glad

to have to join us, hope you'll find helpfull.
