Anyone here dealing with peripheral neuropathy?

Michael - I do agree with your comments and I've been thinking for a few years why hasn't the medical field found out a way to fix this. Not try this medication or that medication. Yes, some help...for a while...and I'm glad that we have those meds but come up with the solution. No easy answer but my belief is that it has to do with money spent on research and priorities. When my neurologist told me that I would die with this but NOT from it, I knew then that PN was not on the front burner for a cure. Like many, I'm idiopathic. So, it looks like it's going to remain a mystery for a while.

mmata- I agree that there is not funding available for research, or clinical trials available. I'm sure that I am not the only one who can not feel their toes (absolutely none, on neither foot) which makes it hard to balance when standing or walking. Now, it's also the outside edge of one foot and the ball of both feet that has joined the numb squad too. I've fallen from this numbness various times too, but the various drs all tell me there is nothing they can offer to help me. I know that I'm not the only one that is discouraged and frustrated. My heart goes out to you.
