It also happens that sometimes our family trees aren't what we think they are. My bio father, from whom I inherited this lovely CMT which is currently rendering my arms painful and practically useless was not my Mother's husband.
Do you or your doctor suspect a hereditary neuropathy? I have passed this down to two of my children, both of whom are symptomatic, one quite severely.
If it is hereditary you can drink in moderation because there isn't much you can do to it or for it. Please let us know a little more about what you and your doctor think is going on.
All the best, which would mean hope it isn't CMT!
