Peripheral Neuropathy -a Treatment Lesson, AidsMeds.com
'Not only can peripheral neuropathy be physically painful, it can also have a profound effect on quality of life. The natural instinct to avoid or reduce pain can prevent people from going about their regular day-to-day activities, whether it be going up and down stairs, visiting with family or friends, or going to work. This can cause a great deal of anxiety and can lead to serious depression – serious emotional problems that can make life seem altogether frustrating'.
