Ray - I agree with your comments. Also, the fact that doctors need to tell a patient that he or she has PN with no cure is as difficult on the doctor as it is for the patient to hear it. When I went to Mayo in MN, the doctor was obviously upset to hand me the news that my PN had no cure. With my wife working in the medical community at our local hospital for 25 years, on the way home from Mayo she reminded me that there are things way worse out there that have no cure. I always keep that in mind. Ed

Ed – I'll not forget how, when my neurologist had finished with my EMG, he turned, walked to the window, and stood looking out, his back to me. I thought, 'How odd … ' As I was pulling my jeans on, I was thinking, 'Why isn't he talking to me?' It was only on reflection days later that I realized he was trying to choose his words carefully, not knowing how I might react to the news that I had an incurable disease. – Ray
