Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy

Posted by krin @krin, 1 day ago

Hi, I may have shared this some time ago, but worth repeating. If you are not aware of the Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy (FPN)--you might want to take a look at their web site. There's a lot of helpful information. I found a neurologist through the site--in my area --who has been very helpful. Not a cure for the PN I have--but at least I have a diagnosis so I don't feel I'm crazy. Also some helpful coping mechanisms. Just "google" Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy. Krin

Hi @krin, Glad to hear that you found a neurologist through their website. I've often shared about the Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy and you are right, it is a great source for learning more about neuropathy. For those not familiar, here is the link to the website - https://www.foundationforpn.org/. They also have a YouTube Channel where they store all of their previous webinars - https://www.youtube.com/@foundationforperipheralneu4122.

Some other good sites for neuropathy information:
-- Neuropathy Commons: https://neuropathycommons.org/
-- Western Neuropathy Association: https://www.pnhelp.org/

And one of my favorites for easy to understand explanations of small fiber peripheral neuropathy by
