Default How do we get the word out?
If it is estimated that 10-20million Americans have Nueropathy and yet only about 7% have ever heard of it, how do we raise awareness of this chronic neurological disease? Any body have any ideas?

Lightbulb get it on Oprah....
Until she gets it, we will have to wait, I guess.

If you could have seen the blitz on the questionable remedy called Airborne that she started, you'd understand.

Now that is the best idea yet.

I'm going to write my letter to Oprah (and to Dr. Phil, and to Montel Williams).

Can't hurt!!

We should ALL write them. I'm game - how do we find the address info? Any way we can avoid being put in a big pile of fan mail?

Until we get someone famous to admit it (Andy Griffith has PN & I think Mary Tyler Moore - as a result of her Diabetes- but they won't talk about the PN)
and steps up like Michael J Fox with Parkinson's - we won't get the coverage we deserve.
I hope the letters may motivate someone, but I think unless you can get someone with a severe case to be a 'poster gal/guy' the interest just ain't there.
