Default First go to the top of the page and read the different set of 'Stickies'.

That will give you a chance to pick and choose a lot of info about PN and it's variants.
This one site mite be helpful in just a beginning outline? It's been updated and is GOOD! Not just about diabetic PN but about PN in general.

This mite also be helpful?

Don't do a sural nerve biopsy unless A]Cleared by your insurance and B]ALL other testing is inconclusive!

Read up on Mrs D's posts, depending on what meds you are on? Many anti-depressants and anti-seizure meds [such as neurontin] are well known to deplete your ability to asorb calcium. Calcium along with magnesium and Vite D are key to keeping many 'twitches' at bay. But don't just take ONE pill and expect a miracle? It'll take about 14-30 days for it to really work, and besides, in the meantime? It can't hurt you. Follow the dosage, maybe ask your docs for a complete metabolic blood panel? Sometimes, they mite have done it already? And have a copy? GET IT IF THEY DO! And, if they haven't ? Bet a lite bulb will go off and they will do it! Just get a copy so you can learn about it all yourself. It's not easy to learn about it? But it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see where the * [asterisks] are? Meaning tests with too low or high #'s -then read up on them and work your way thru it. We can help, but read up first, please! 's for now - j
