  The primary purpose of this egroup is to bring together those who suffer from the nerve damage disorder known as Peripheral Neuropathy (PN). There are several causes for this disorder. Many PN causes are unknown. Hopefully, our egroup can be an information pool that will will assist all of us to understand better this pesky disorder.

• Neuropathy
  The Neuropathy Association is dedicated to helping others learn about Peripheral Neuropathy what it is, what causes it, and what can be done if you have it. Even though over two million people in the United States suffer fromthis disorder, information is hard to come by. and when you finally do find some, you may be mystified by the medical vocabulary. As an organization of people with neuropathy, we know how bewildering it can be, and want to provide explanations.
