This is something that people study all their life and have absolutely no clue? Maybe the medical world should just place this under "permanent disability" and move on.

It's been years and years with no clues and no advances, smh. Even people with H.I.V have a better quality of life now. I just don't understand it. Is it better to just lose your limbs completely so you won't feel anything? This just seems like the worst thing in the world to have. It's almost like having a life threatening disease is better because there is better treatment now a day's. Nobody really cares about neuropathy when it comes to science and medicine. Sad.
I can understand dealing with this for a while but I can't get past the "never can be cured" part. Sorry but It depresses me to no end. What is also maddening is not knowing the cause.
