Does CMT Pose a Threat To Life?
I have CMT 1a andhave always been told it has zero effect on longevity, however recent articles in the newspaper suggest it can effect the phrenic nerve that controls the diaphram. If that is the case surely it can lead to breathing difficulties and ultimately death?

Thyroid Petition Debate at Scottish Parliament on Tuesday 5 Feb (tomorrow!)
This is edited and posted from an email I had from the TPA (Thyroid Patient Advocacy) although the parliament petition I believe is from individuals, with the TPA supporting them. I hope this does not contradict any guidelines by posting about another organisation. I'm not a member of their group but

Plaquenil and Pregabalin with Activated Charcoal?
Hi all, Anyone know if it is OK to take charcoal capsules whilst on plaquenil and pregabalin? I've found they're fantastic for reducing the flatulence problem but then I googled and saw that it can also absorb the active effects of the drugs as well... They're used to treat overdoses of the drugs

Hi has anyone with HNPP or CMT had one of these stupid medicals and managed to hold on to their benefits as a result of it? All I keep reading is the usual total negativity from sufferers as the examiners try to catch them out with silly questions! I am beginning to get worried now as I have one on

Swelling feet and ankles
I have CMT1a ~ Does anyone suffer from swollen feet and ankles? Diuretics don't help. They are usually bearable but occasionally become quite painful and I have to elevate my legs for a few hours to get any relief. They soon return and it is now a chronic condition with which I am learning to live. Any

Does anyone suffer from sleep apnea?
Hi, about the time I was diagnosed with CMT 1a (10 years ago) my wife noticed that I stopped breathing for long periods when sleeping. I was referred by my GP to a sleep consultant. He took one look at me and said "I don't believe you have sleep apnea, you're fit and not overweight, you just don't fit
