According to the 60-Minutes documentary a year ago the NIH-Clinic in Maryland? can repair genes and re-inject the good genes back into patient's body together with weakened HIV virus so body's immune-system doesn't refuse the new gene, and patient got cured within just 24 hours, but it'll take them decades to test on every decease.

Where can I get information on how to donate money for research to this Charcot Marie Tooth Disease, I want to do a fundraiser for my 50th birthday. I have family members with this disease.

My CMT foot pain really kicks in when I lay down to go to sleep. I have found that 600mg of gabapentin a few hours before bedtime helps me tremendously!

[@thehamiltonclan]

I have been to 4 neurologists, 3 neurosurgeons and my pain management doctor. No one has a clue what I had. I have been “doctoring” at the Andrews Clinic ( best orthopedic hospital in the country). And the Mayo Clinic!! No one could figure out what I had. Except for my good friends wife! A kindergarten teacher!! She spent a good amount of time researching possibilities of what I had. Bingo! My left foot in now so deformed. Toes curl under my feet. Left foot is a 7 1/2. Right is 10 1/2. My left calf muscle is tiny compared to my right. I could see fascticulations in my leg all day long. They have now stoped because my calf is dead. Right foot is starting in curl and it’s running down my arms. I have spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease. I’m wondering if the CMT caused many of my spinal issues. 2 Corinthians 12:10

I understand that cmt and myoclonic seizures have an association and they are super painful and need assistance when I do things like cooking and cleaning.

[@lisaadams8004]

I've spilled many things and fall all the time and the slightest knock in the hip or arm by the door handle when I lose feeling in my arm like in coordination and even tho it wasn't hard the pain sears up my arm and in my neck and back- I go extra careful as I have over and under sensitive nervous system. Living and understanding the cmt I have has helped me live a bit more comfortably

Some rumors about siRNA for type-1 A and I have it but clinically there is nothing. I just had a conversation with my parents they just don’t understand there is no actual cure so far, everytime we talk about it they start naming some sever cases related to neurons and dad add his legendary statement (if you believe there’s no cure for flu you’ll never heal from flu) and I get so helpless trying to explain it to them and burst out crying :) Idk why I’m ranting here but I’ve no one to talk to about it like the rest of us

[@Hesam0000]

Actually there is a cure. As witnessed on 60-minutes program now NIH Clinic of Maryland can repair the faulty genes and re-inject them back into patient's body and as their patient said "She noticed the difference in just 24 hours". If our genes are repaired, at the minimum, the decease progress will stop and I'm sure the nerves will regenerate and activate with the help of stem-cells.

[@Hesam0000]

UPDATE: PXT3003 drug by Pharnext of France reverses the effects of CMT. It is yet to get approved by FDA spending phase-3 of tests on volunteers.

[@lisaadams8004]

I send successfull affirmation energy your way. I hope you find the map to cure it and to have the dna back to normal. As I have cmt that causes me myoclonic seizures and sometimes it takes me a while to do things when they start. I also had physio therapy for shortening of the tendons in my feet- I was very painful but I'm Happy the dr did a good job. I wear brace to help with drop foot and to stop my ankles from rolling as I have loose joints and its near impossible for me to gain any more weight or muscle then I have now no matter what. But I won't stop staying healthy and trying my best.

[@kevinfitzgerald7474]

The cause can be found and a cure can be found. Stem cells is 1 idea. It seems like nuerology is just honestly useless, because people want causes of these symptoms to be found and a cure.
