Hi, @dadroot - interestingly, I'm a fellow Coloradan, like @ray666, and I lived in Arvada, CO, and went to high school there. It's a nice place to live. I'm now in the Upper Midwest.

I'm wondering how things went with your newer doc you went to see and what his thoughts were on stem cell therapies for neuropathy?

Well, I came away pretty FRUSTRATED after talking to my Doctor. His view is that any REAL use of stem cell Therapies is still at least a decade away. If that's the case, it'll be out of my lifetime. He wasnt even open to my suggestion that he assist me into further researching the subject. He said that Kaiser Permanente would not pay for any visits to, say, a Neurologist. Grrrr
He DID warn me against using these 'providers' that pop up once in a while claiming to have a solution to this darned Idiopathic Peripheral Neuropathy.
In the end, I came away pretty frustrated with him.
