Hi John. Do you know if the presentation from August 4 will be available online anywhere? I cannot attend but I would sure like to see the program or at least read about what was discussed. Thank you, Nancy Banks.
Hi Nancy @banksnc49 -- Unfortunately they normally don't record their presentations. We sometimes get handouts or if someone takes good notes I post them on the website - http://neuropathy-mn.org/. I am hoping to go and will try to take notes. If I do and they have any handouts I will try to post the information here on Connect.

HI Felix @swiss, I'm hoping to learn a little more about stem cell therapy if I am able to make it to the August 4th Minnesota Neuropathy Association meeting. Their speaker from the University of Minnesota Medical School will be discussing some of the latest information (I hope).
I also feel it important to add it is so important to do your homework and due diligence when researching new treatment options. Stem cells offer a lot of hope. But where these is hope, there is hype and charlatans.

Have you been doing anything new to help with your neuropathy?
