@gus0557 Gus, unfortunately you are 100 percent correct. Once the damage is done it is done and the best we can hope for is to slow down progression. I have axonal PN and Mayo said the damage can't be reversed. Increased numbness has caused poor balance yet, I'm trying to walk as much as possible, and my numbness has remained mostly below the knees and small amount in fingertips. I'm now almost ten years into this and no answers. Ed

Hi Ed,
Believe me I know how you're feeling and I also have axonal PN. So far the numbness is still below the knees but there's off course loss of balance and very sharp shooting pain into the bottom of the feet. Like you, all I can hope for is a slow progression of the condition.
Wishing you the best always and take care.
Have a serene evening,
gus
