I haven't posted for awhile for several reasons but I've been reading through some of the links Dahlek was kind enough to share re: nerve regrowth and regeneration. It's pretty clear that regardless of the cause of the PN from among the >200 possible ones the net results of demyelination are essentially the same w/ respect to symptomology - not everyone has the same symptoms or severity but collectively all symptoms are represented by people in these threads. It struck me that for something as seemingly important and ultimately related to virtually everyone's situaton the forum might benefit from a sticky covering historical and recent links to nerve regrowth, regeneration such as the ones below that Dahlek shared.

My thought was that w/ the vast wealth of information available from forum members a sticky of this type could be very useful to everyone, long time members and newer ones like myself since to varying degrees we all deal with the results of demyelination daily.

Just a thought - it's late and the multiple fingers of Mr Jack haven't yet kicked in.
