Sorry, I just keep having thoughts on lacking research and urgency for peripheral neuropathy. It, for the most part, is an invisible disease which is not as prominent to reaction. It's human nature to react to a visual. I've witnessed first hand someone on crutches or with a cast getting immediate sympathy and recognition of pain over myself. My own husband responds more when my legs are fully wrapped in heat because he visualizes and reacts with empathy. The intense pain, burning, cramping, weakness, stabbing, electric shocks etc...is not typically seen externally by a stranger. Plus, for the most part, neuropathy is not a known killer, but a debilitater. Game changer!
This is only my opinion.
