Re: beginning symptoms

Hi ,

I recommend low-impact exercise like swimming.

Foot massage and manual stretching of the feet and toes daily.

Paying attention to a balanced nutritional plan.

Supportive footwear such as New Balance.

Connect with a physical therapist for evaluation and program.

Perhaps try Vit. C, Citicoline or Curcurmin

Keep stress low.

Maintain a positive outlook.

I was also a late onset of CMT symptoms, though they were always

there, just that no one ever recognized them. I was in my 30s when my feet

started going numb. My recommendation for your sister is to take care of her

feet. I hated to wear shoes and eventually did some serious damage to my feet as

a result.

Gretchen,

You've just said it all. Above all, I've found a positive outlook and mind over

matter make a huge difference in day to day activities.

Hi ,

I agree with Gretchen. Stay active, eat well, and stretch often.

I have decided to do a lot of exercise to keep my muscles strong and built

up. I balance this with a lot of massage, stretching, reflexology, etc.

And I have in shoe orthotic supports which are wonderful and highly

recommend these to your sister.

Good luck,
