I seem to recall you took Cipro alot?

If so you may have fluoroquinolone toxicity. This is DNA damage.
So using some acetyl carnitine (up to 2 grams a day) may help.

Magnesium too, as it helps the mitochondria. Any form other than OXIDE type.

The CMT issue can be triggered in people we know now from one study of a man who was triggered by Levaquin. His CMT was asymptomatic before the drug was given. CMT websites have drugs lists to avoid... so they know that drugs can make CMT worse.

Quinolone damage may respond to glutathione treatments, and magnesium. Dr. Jay Cohen MD has mentioned that on his website.
Glutathione can be stimulated with the supplement NAC (n-acetyl cysteine). There are liposomal forms of glutathione now available...very expensive but if you are suffering, you could try one of those. That is the only type that is absorbed from oral use.
