Hi,
Thank you for sharing your story, and I look forward to reading "Part 2".
You may be interested in reading some resources about PN, and I hope you will continue updating us on your condition, as well as let us know if you have any specific questions you would like us to help you research.
Are you interested in treatment options, including those in the "complementary and alternative medicine" genre?
As you may already know (from NIH link above): "No medical treatments now exist that can cure inherited peripheral neuropathy. However, there are therapies for many other forms. Any underlying condition is treated first, followed by symptomatic treatment. Peripheral nerves have the ability to regenerate, as long as the nerve cell itself has not been killed. Symptoms often can be controlled, and eliminating the causes of specific forms of neuropathy often can prevent new damage."
This is potentially good news, and depending on the underlying cause of your PN, there may be some effective treatments to relieve your symptoms, including everything from acupuncture to surgery (and many more alternatives in-between).
