Why test for neuropathy if there is no cure?

HI John, I looked up that Harvard health thread, but couldn't access it, nor even buy an on line subscription. But I wonder what the article said about "why do I smell odors that aren't real," because I have that problem. The symptoms of my PN include the numbness, pain and burning below the waist and the sense that my hands are constantly falling asleep, dizziness standing up, but also this odd smell that seems to follow me around. I have wondered if that is related to PN.

@nrivers you can see the article the article if you search on Google for "New thinking on peripheral neuropathy" and go to the page that way. I did print the page using from their page and saved it as a PDF. I also found another page that talks about smell and neurology.
