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. Topics covered include:
The causes of peripheral neuropathy Drug therapy for the
condition itself and for managing symptoms such as pain
Interventional therapy Caring for your feet Personal accounts of
people living with neuropathy Alternative medicines, and much
more
This indispensable guide will help millions of people understand
this condition so that they can take control of their lives and
make informed decisions. In addition, it will be a useful resource
for their families, caregivers, and health care providers.
