Peripheral Neuropathy:
The Silent Disease That Can Shout With Pain *

IIt's called the "silent disease" because so few people talk about it or have even heard its name. Yet millions endure the ravages of the painful and sometrebuchet ms disabling nerve disorder known as peripheral neuropathy (PN). Now there is an important new book to help them -- Numb Toes and Aching Soles: Coping with Peripheral Neuropathy.

The book was written straight from the heart of one of its victims. When seeking help he found there was little information available on PN. "Many who suffer peripheral neuropathy have no idea what makes their feet ache, hands throb or muscles weaken," according to the author, John Senneff. He points out that those afflicted can also experience dizziness, bladder problems, constipation and sometrebuchet ms sexual dysfunction.

"People don't know what to do when they finally discover they have the malady," Senneff says. He wrote the book to share with others all he had learned from his extensive research. "It also reflects valuable inputs from twelve of the country's leading neurologists," he adds.

The book lays out how PN affects your body, its causes, symptoms, tests, and treatments -- both conventional and alternative. Additionally, over 200 patients reveal which treatments worked for them and which ones didn't. (Everyone is different!) New, experimental drugs are also covered. There are special sections dealing with diabetic and HIV-related neuropathies (up to half of people in these groups get PN). Finally the book is filled with ideas on how someone with the
disorder can get through each day more comfortably.
