May 13-17 is the ninth annual Neuropathy Awareness Week. Neuropathy is a painful and potentially debilitating nerve condition that affects patients health and quality of life. The Neuropathy Association is committed to raising awareness about warning signs, early detection and treatment. Dr. Thomas H. Brannagan, III is the associations medical adviser and a member. He offers this perspective: “While early intervention and treatment can be critical to slowing the disease’s progression, our biggest challenge is many Americans still do not know about neuropathy, are unaware they have it, and do not recognize warning signs, which can include weakness, numbness, tingling, and pain, especially in the hands and feet. If ignored, these symptoms can lead to persistent weakness, loss of sensation or unremitting pain,” neuropathy.org/site/PageServer?pagename=Neuropathy_Week Life is simply too short to live with this kind of pain and discomfort. Help is available. Please call or visit our office to learn more.
