Links for Patients
The Peripheral Nerve Society is not able to respond directly to inquiries from individual patients with nerve disease. We strongly recommend that you contact your own physician for information specific to your complaint. However, we realize that you may also want to gather information yourself, in which case we recommend that you contact the following organizations listed below, to which we refer inquiries. These organizations are best able to help you with diagnosing and treating neuropathy. We also provide links to other information on the web that we hope you will find useful.
