The article I posted about the guy on our local news station who is starting the Neuropathy Awareness Foundation has some local doctors and politicians who are backing him.
I checked it out a little closer and one of the doctors is in my HMO!!!!!! He is about 100 miles away from our local office, BUT, I asked my primary care if he could refer me to him. I've got another Neurologist, but he specializes in head injuries, etc. When I saw that this guy was within driving distance to me, I wrote my doc and basically begged him to give me a referral.
I'll let you know how it goes! I will definitely mention our board to him and how everyone is so glad that they are doing this for us. But most important, I want some medication that won't make me feel like I live inside a cloud and can't find the words I need to communicate with others.
I want to see if he can more specifically identify what "type" of neuropathy I have and more specifically treat it.

I'll update you if I get help or not.
