Have you checked out the symptoms of low vitamin B12? B12 is often a factor in neurological problems.

Tetanus, as an aside, is a central nervous system disease.
Hi, CMT is hereditary. It is not from any low Vitamin B12 or the like. It is hereditary. There is no cure/treatment for it at the present time. Moderate exercise may be helpful for healthy muscles but not for atrophied, dead ones. Atrophied muscles, dead ones, is what happens to us. CMT affects the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS). That would be everything outside of the brain and spinal cord.

The pictures are on the Internet. They are from real people as far as I know. I have seen people who have hands and feet like these. They are not my pictures at all.

It is nice that you could get an amazing improvement with your problem.
