Does this story hit close to home? You or a person you care about starts getting numbness or serious pain at the ends of their limbs that doesn’t go away. Sometimes it is like having your lower legs or feet fall asleep. In other cases it will feel like needles. Some people have their feet “fall asleep” over several weeks and never wake back up. You get an appointment with your physician. After a brief exam he tells you that you have something called Peripheral Neuropathy, or PN, just like millions of other people in the country.
