Hi Lyn, I know nothing regarding the medication you are now taking; so I am no help on that; but hopefully someone else on the forum will read your post and perhaps have experience with that medication and can speak to your question. I also think I have read posts by others from Australia; I feel th...

Re: REMINDER ABOUT DEADLINE FOR FEEDBACK FOR DR.RUSSOTTO

Hi Peggy,

Have you had many respond with questions for Dr. Russotto? I do hope so; this is a great opportunity for him and for all of us.

I just thought of another question and hope it isn't too late.

How many people also have neuropathy in feet and legs?
