Welcome MaryB1953

I'm new here myself, and can tell you that you will find a lot of good advice and support at the Peripheral Neuropathy Board.

You might check out the Neuropathy Association. Their member doctors are generally fairly knowledgeable in PN, and I have found them to be the most compassionate. They only have one member in the Austin area, but there are others within a 3-4 hour drive:

My neurologist is a member of The Neuropathy Association. He is 4 hours away, but it is worth the distance to have one who stays current on PN issues. I tried one locally, but all he seemed interested in doing was prescribing meds. I wanted more than that.

I lived in Austin for a while. You are in a beautiful part of the country.
