New peripheral neuropathy drug gets FDA advance

I’ve had PN for years now and I have no pain, just weakness and tingling in my feet. I also have balance issues. I take zero meds for my PN. Why do soooo many people have pain issues and I don’t? I had to retire early as I didn’t have the strength to get the left brake pedal down hard enough and when you’re landing on a 6000 ft runway at 120kts. You have to get it stopped. There’ll never be a cure for this crap.

I have the same, numbness, poor balance and zero pain. I've been curious for years about two things. First, why do some people suffer from pain and others do not? Second, why does PN affect most people in their mid to late 50's, and mainly 60's and 70's. With idiopathic PN, is age a trigger but the cause is from something years prior to be diagnosed with PN. I agree with you at this point, a cure is doubtful but perhaps not impossible.... someday.
