It is important too for newbies to understand:
There are over 100 causes of PN. Some are primary...those are the most scary IMO. The hereditary ones, and the autoimmune ones, toxic ones. Some toxic ones like thallium are incurable. And CMT still is in research stages. But these are much less common than the secondary ones.
Secondary are those due to compression, hypothyroid, diabetes, or other disease processes, nutritional deficiency. Autoimmune can cross over to this area too, depending. These can sometimes improve if the original disease process is addressed successfully.
Being afraid of any long standing, confusing, hard to diagnose medical problem is very stressful, and that is why boards like NeuroTalk exist, to offer information and support to defuse some of that fear.
