Do we even really know how many people are effected with PN?

We definitely need more public people to open up about this? I just can't understand why? I have seen many interviews where many of them open up about there healthy issues, but why is this not spoken about? Is it because, like you said mrsD, its silent, and therefore its not worth mentioning, it not life threatening so why talk about it. But then again so many other healthy problems run along the same path. We only need a few to open up about it, and it will encourage others to do the same.
It can only help others. I don't think most of these well knowns, understand the power they have to heal others. They have the media to manipulate and the money to push for awareness.

By the way, l did find an interview with dolores Hart talking about her experience with PN. I can try and find it again, if you would like to read it.

Also, l just wish there were some younger celebrities who would open up about it, as l am sure there are some who have PN.
