If you read through these forums you will see that people try a lot of different supplements and diets but outside of that there really aren't treatments for PN except IVIG for autoimmune and demylinating neuropathy, which only applies to a small percentage of cases.
Thanks, Susanne. Is there a diagnostic test for CMT? Nobody in my family has anything similar, even in old age. I'm just weird. I won't spend too much on blood work, but I do want to check thyroid, at least. Is there a way to know whether you have autoimmune and demyelinating neuropathy vs. other types?
