Hi Lynxgal and Kitt -

Thanks for your notes. I am actually heading out to my health food store to ask some questions. My ferritin is low so I have to keep that up (I've gone from 10 in Feb. to 27 two weeks ago ... still too low). I'm going to ask about a good multi, a B complex, SAMe and Co-Q-10. Then I shall ponder some more.

I get the cramps everywhere on my body only when the CMT symptoms are awake. Mainly thighs, lower legs (strangely not calves but the front of my shins), toes and feet. To a lesser degree, hands and abdomen. I have checked everything out re: electrolytes, calcium and potassium levels, thyroid, and everything always shows up nice and healthy on the bloodwork.

Kitt, I just might try the Advil a few times a day for a few days and see if that will get me over my current little hump. At least that won't knock me out!

Hope everyone has a great day .....

Di
