Anything is possible but don't beat yourself up over it. Chances are it was not your life style. My CMT gets worse with stress. Sometimes I think I need drugs to calm down so I don't get any worse..

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2001 Report Share Posted May 15, 2001 We know that some drugs do make the condition worse and CMT people are cautioned in using them, but don't know whether anabolic steroids would speed up your condition, My daughter was daignosed at age 8 and she did nothing. It varies from person to person. Also, there are studies talking about creatine possibly helping CMT muscle tone by 10%, so I echo another's post, " don't beat yourself up about it " a << Do u guys know or think that Drugs........like Anabolic steriords could hurry up the progres of CMT........like I toke AS when I was young and stupid........so like maybe my CMT shouldent have showen before I was 40 or 50........but because I toke some shit that probely was made in a russian bathtop my CMT was speed up.?? >> >> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 16, 2001 Report Share Posted May 16, 2001 Dennis, I too was young and stupid and tried anabolic steroids. I cycled them for about a year when I was in my mid twenties. Although they did help me with strength and size they altered my personality and I stopped taking them. My CMT has progressed very slowly over the years so I do not think that steroids speeded up my CMT. I am 42. I am also a weightlifter who has been drug free for over 15 years. I train 5 days a week in the gym and ride my bike about 60 miles a week on average. I am a firm believer in excercise. I know that because of the muscle mass I have packed on over the years that my CMT is not as severe as many peoples. That is what has worked for me. Why, I do not know. CMT has many faces, in my case the extra muscle seems to act as support for my joints etc. Dennis, there is a list of drugs in the archives that are known to exacerbate CMT. Has any one seen an increase in their symptoms from taking certain drugs not on the list? This might be a good question for one of our polls.

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Hi ,I am on MS Contin, which is extended release morphine so it lasts for 12 hours! I love it and its really working well for me. I take 15mg am/pm and it my pain is really bad I can double that dose or take a third one in the afternoon. My only issue with going higher in dose, is that I tried going up to 30mg and I had severe dry mouth issues that did not get better with time. But side effects are different for everyone. I highly recommend trying it if you can take the extended release meds - some people can't because it affects their stomachs. But there are other kinds of morphine in can take also.

I am seeing my pain consultant and med mangement doc tomorrow and my primary said to ask her to get me on stronger pain med. i told him i was already taking darvocet 650 and vicodin 10/660. My primary doc said that it not doing enough for me ans i should ask and if she does not do it he will. so if anyone is on morphine can you tell me how it has worked for you and what is good and bad about it. shelly -- Eat, sleep, dream and be the music!Life is short, live each day to its' fullest!Cave softly and leave no trace.Find a cure for chronic pain!Ask about The Purrfect Petsitter and Infinite Creations!
