This book covers such diverse topics as: what to ask at doctor appointments; making the house easier to navigate with neuropathy; where to find a support group; using vitamins and herbs for treatment; tips for traveling; and, much, much more! "You Can Cope With Neuropathy" is a compendium of tips, techniques, and life-task shortcuts that will help millions of people who live with this painful condition.It will also serve as a useful resource for their families, caregivers, and health care providers.
