Much as I'd like to have an occasional glass of wine, I have given up drinking alcohol altogether. I wonder if there might be a difference in regard to alcohol sensitivity between the different types of CMT. Do you happen to know of any research on the topic and/or the background of the decision to remove alcohol from the list? Also, in view of what Mrs. D. said, the particular type of alcohol (red wine) and/or B1 status might have been factor(s) for me.

They tell you to consult your physician concerning alcohol and your particular situation. Everyone is different. They do update the list often. They encourage people to contact them. Alcohol was taken off the list in July of 2004.
Sensorimotor axonal polyneuropathy seems to be what you have posted. There doesn't appear to be a definite diagnosis of CMT. Correct?
