Hi, I wasnt aware that peripheral neuropathy is an established 9/11 condition by workers comp in NYS. My job wasnt in workers comp system so im not that familiar with it. If you have a link or anything that you can send me with that information i would appreciate it.
Dr. Wilkenfeld is affiliated with Winthrop Hospital in Mineola, Long Island. They are still doing additional research there to establish a definitive link between the dust and peripheral neuropathy. I will see one of the doctors involved tomorrow. ill ask how its going. what neuromuscular
condition do you have, i can ask them that as well.
