You should ask your neurologist what you should do about that. I only have that if I walk or stand too much. Food or alcohol does not bother or cause it. Just speaking for myself.

Also, as far as alcohol is concerned for a CMTer, it is what I posted. Moderate consumption is O.K. You cannot over indulge. As I said, alcohol was removed from the medication alert list in 2004. This information is only for a person who has CMT.

An added note as far as shoes are concerned. If you have weak ankles you can wear a high topped athletic shoe or a boot that is high enough over the ankle. This can help a lot. It worked for me for quite awhile. Put a little padding in which also helps such as Dr. Scholl's odor eaters or the gel insoles. You can experiment with that.
