An update on the Charcot Marie Tooth (MD) survey. It is supposed to be
finalized in the next few weeks. One mother has responded to the
brainstorming on the CMT list re: link between breastfeeding and delaying
onset of symptoms. She was pregnant and/or nursed for 9 years. After
weaning, she noticed symptoms developing and was diagnosed 6 months later.
She attributes the nursing to delaying symptoms. I've been pregnant and/or
nursing for 4 1/2 years. So if this is the case I may pump & dump the rest
of my life. I will let people know responses as they come in. I wonder if
this can be applied to other neuromuscular diseases?
