Peripheral neuropathy can cause pain, numbness, weakness, and a host of other problems. As a sufferer of peripheral neuropathy I read the book with interest and hope. My feelings were rewarded as the book unfolded. The 10 chapters begin, appropriately, with “What is a Nerve?” and end, also appropriately, with “Living with Neuropathy.” The writing style is fluid and down to earth. This complex disease is made easy to understand, with chapters on Symptoms and on Causes of neuropathy written in layman’s terms. Diagnosis of neuropathy is described, beginning with the patient’s medical history, through the neurological exam, and finally to the various tests available. Treatment of neuropathy, with and without medications, is reported in the longest chapter in this short book. The book contains lots of practical suggestions that sufferers of neuropathy will very much appreciate. It is a must read for anyone trying to come to terms with this difficult illness.

Would be a good book for a carer to read but being in the early stages I found it frightening because it seems to suggest you will eventually end up fully disabled

The single and most important facts that this author brings out in this book is the revelation that PN is inherited and for now, incurable. For anyone, (myself included,) who is inflicted with this disease, it presents the factual truth that there are no products, (pills, ointments or medical treatments. )that can result in a cure. Even trying to reduce the pain, cramps, swelling, etc brought about by this disease is very challenging !. Everyone who is so inflicted hopes that a medical outbreak will happen soon, however for now, it is what it is. Anyone with this medical disease woulf find this book worth obtaining

Great book lots of learn
