Hello Artblop, i also have peripheral neuropathy due to toxic exposures at the world trade center on the day of and the months following the attacks. My PN started in October of 2001 with numb big toes and progressed from there relatively slowly up my legs to past the knees and my hands and partway up my forearms. EMG/NCS has shown that i have severe axonal pn in my feet and lower legs and moderate to severe in my hands.

you are correct, the world trade center medical monitoring program will not treat peripheral neuropathy because it is not a recognized illness due to world trade center exposure yet.

maybe you could post more about your exposure, what you were doing and how it progressed etc. it would also be a good idea to fill out that questionairre from winthrop about world trade center exposure and nerve damage. they are currently still doing studies on the effects, which may help us to get nerve damage recognized as a world trade center illness.
