Looks like it's time to update the links.

The Jack Miller Center for Peripheral Neuropathy has a little section on this, I just noticed:

--but I also want to get to the original papers. Here are some (the first two are review articles).

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18923366

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11494277

http://www.neurology.org/content/60/1/108.abstract


There have actually been hundreds of papers on this, as this PubMed search page attests:

This should be enough to get even the most recalcitrant doctor to at least consider the possibility.
