That said many of the medications used to treat PN cause similar symptoms especially brain fog.
Some people are using a low dose ritalin or provigal to improve concentration and social interactions.

Hello ( New here - sort of )
I've had this since all my Neuropathy woes started back in 99 and have similiar experinces of , loss of focus , boredoom as others here experince.
I personally dont feel it has anythign to with being depressed , at least for me , and find that big part of the problem for me seems to be down to vizualisation and association .
This isnt just restricted to reading - it can happen in films and esp audio tapes as well depending on the readers voice.
Maybe this isnt the same for other here but for me I noticed a direct connection since my ability to visualize / meditate vanished , ironically at the same time I started becoming aware of my neuropathy.
