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.

By treating the cause it's most likely also meant that you need to treat the nerve damage. If you look at the top of the page here there are a couple of topics labeled as 'stickies'. There's a *lot* of good info there regarding vitamins and supplements.
I was Dx with idiopathic PN also. Since I've been on this board and began using the methods given in the stickies I've had about a 90% reduction in pain and symptoms.
You may be able to achieve similar results.
