I agree with you, doctors can do more damage than good sometimes. Especially when the patient knows more about their condition than their doctor does. My experience with doctors the past few years has been anything but reassuring. However, it seems I've now been blessed with a new NP that actually seems to know about PN and the issues I've had to focus on. So in that dept I have much hope.

Jarrett--The doctors showed way too little interest in what I had to say, unfortunately. But the protocol I followed is the one posted in the stickies. There's a list of supplements, and the advice: use it or lose it. You have to keep trying to use muscles that you cannot feel, or which are weak, to keep stimulating the nerves leading to them.

I'm not a bit surprised by that attitude, LizaJane. They know everything there is to know, donchaknow. After all, they're the ones that have been to college and medical school. Lord, spare me from arrogant, know-it-all doctors who in reality don't know diddly.

Back to the stickies!

Hi Dockmaster
You are on the stickies
If you look at the forum as a whole you will see the threads on top are "stuck" or pinned there so that they always remain at the top for reference.

I'd like to add that when you come here off Google, you cannot see our index, etc. You are entering a long active thread.

At the bottom of this page are page numbers. Go to page ONE and then start reading. That is where this particular sticky begins.

Click on Peripheral Neuropathy on the top of the page to view the other 2 stickies if you choose.
