Welcome

[Guest guest]

Welcome and thanks for sharing your story with us. I can

relate to your staph infection. I had a bad one in 2001 and was on

heavy antibiotics for a long time.

Absolutely YES to swimming/getting in the pool. Even better if you

can work with a physical therapist or occupational therapist. One of

our members here lives in Jensen Beach, FL, she is an OT and works

with CMT persons in the pool. I hope when Deni see's this, she'll

respond. I've been very active in aquatics for 4 years myself, now 6

days a week with great results.

As for foot deformity - I hate that word 'deformity'' - I do have pes

cavus feet, but my feet have never stopped me from experiencing " The

Full Cupboard of Life " , as McCall calls it.

As for Vitamins, read through our Files section on Vitamin C, I think

there is Vitamin E info there too. I take E daily, and also recently

added a Vitamin B complex that works well for me. I follow a protein

rich diet, low in carbs, zero in sugar, and I drink a very special

artesian bottled water, Fijiwater, for the magnesium, calcium and

silica.

Again, welcome to . We're here for help and hope.
