Product Description
Product Description
Peripheral neuropathy affects 10 to 20 million people in the U.S, including ten per cent of all people who have diabetes. This condition has numerous causes, but can be associated with diseases such as HIV, alcoholism, and lupus, and may result from treatments for other medical conditions, such as cancer chemotherapy. Symptoms include pain, numbness, loss of balance, and tingling in the extremities. Although a widespread condition, most people don't know about it, and when diagnosed find it difficult to obtain information. Peripheral Neuropathy, by Norman Latov, Professor of Neurology at the Weill Medical College of Cornell University, explains what we know about neuropathy, including its causes and manifestations, and what can be done to manage it.

The best book ever on Peripheral Neuropathy, Dec 12 2006
By Irene Beer "Irene Beer" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Peripheral Neuropathy: When the Numbness, Weakness, and Pain Won't Stop (Paperback)
I have had Peripheral Neuropathy for 12 years, and read many articles and books about this disease. This book is the clearest, most informative.It covers information on a vast number of different types of neuropathy. I relished reading about all the possible causes and have a much clearer picture of the disease. Kudos to Dr. Latov for making this a patient friendly way to get the information about a disease that I know is hard to correctly diagnose. I strongly suggest that everyone with neuropathy and their families read this book to help understand the disease and get the proper diagnosis and treatment.

I'm sorry if you are suffering from Neuropathy also...., Feb 3 2007
By Military Intelligence - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Peripheral Neuropathy: When the Numbness, Weakness, and Pain Won't Stop (Paperback)
I've suffered from a major L5-S1 disc herniation and sciatica, and it now appears to developing into peripheral neuropathy. There are very few books for the lay person available, but this one is outstanding! If you are suffering from sciatica, diabetes, loss of feeling, sharp stabbing muscle pains, or spinal injury.....you must buy this book to understand what may happen to you. And for your spouses and friends, this will make them understand "some" of what you are going through in non-mind numbing way.

The Tucson, AZ Neuropathy Support Group highly reccommends this book. It is clearly written. It is an excellent book giving great insight into this disease. It is all encompassing, concise and direct. There was no sugar coating, nor was it disparing. Many treatments and approaches were analyzed. All our group endorsed it without exception for all neuropathy sufferers.
