Awareness

Reading the New York Times online today. There is an item in their Health column called Times Essentials. It will show at the right of the page, half way down from the top, on the Health page. There is something labeled as "Foot Pain - your poor feet". Click on it. It lead to an article named - "Think of Your Poor Feet" by Laurie Tarkan. It is a pretty good article but Peripheral Neuropathy was not mentioned, not even once. Twenty million Americans are suffering from peripheral neuropahty, much more around the world. Almost all of them have foot pain. Not mentioned in the artical.

There are much work need to be done to raise the awareness of peripheral neuropathy.
