Thanks for your reply.
I have had all the normal tests that are carried out in this country to establish what type of PN I have.
The website you refered me to has so far been unavailable to me.
You mention treating the cause. As stated mine is Idiopathic (no known cause)
I was told by my Neurologist to keep fit & healthy.
I still work but are finding it more difficult driving & walking.
I keep fit by cycling as often as I can but have to clip my feet to the pedals to make sure they don't slide off.
I would still like to hear of other areas of the body that can become infected. Also can the discomfort beome so extreme that some people finish up getting limbs removed.
