Default Bill, check out the 'stickies' at the top ......

of the PN category...
A great site I found is there on skin....Neuropathies affect the nerves which tell the brain what's going on, in turn, the brain is getting scrambled signals from those nerves and sends skewey signals back to your vascular, lymph and other systems. Often, results are super sweatiness, or an absence of same; hair growth or loss. The best parts are under the diabetic neuropathy tab of that index.

As for statins...go to the top blue bar on each page and click on 'search' then plug in the word[s] you want to find...you'll come across posts from all over the boards about good, bad, and indifferent experiences with it. Probably some good research or info sites as well?

As for teeth, many meds used to ease neuropathy pain are anti-epileptic meds....they do a real number on teeth and gums! Ask any epileptic!

Good luck and hope this helps! - j
