I agree. And, I did get treated with antibiotics for my sinus infection, so perhaps, that, and not the medrol caused me to get PN. My cousin has some numbness in her feet--she is now using a cane because her legs feel wobbly. She never went to the doctor or took any medication. If you say there is between 20 and 30 million folk with this, then where is the lobby to make something happen--like a cure--or at least better treatments. I am now gun-shy with medicines--the side effects seem to be enormous. For me, physical therapy is the way to go. I am supported there--unlike at the doctors who seem to have the agenda to medicate and medicate again. I may try reflexology and acupuncture. Plus, my podiatrist is researching a new cream based on capsaicin which purports to ease pain in feet for three months. Lets hope summer is kind to us PN sufferers!
