- Recognize the early symptoms and signs of neuropathy;
- Ensure an early and accurate diagnosis and treatments by working with expert health care professionals to prevent and/or minimize progression of neuropathy and its complications;
- Acknowledge the unique challenges the neuropathy community faces;
- Generate and support greater understanding for neuropathy; and

As part of this process and this week, it is important to remind individuals with peripheral neuropathy (no matter the cause of the neuropathy) to be evaluated and get a treatment plan to help improve the syptoms of neuropathy and possibly improve the neuropathy itself. Peripheral neuropathy is a very problematic issue and can interfere with the simple act of walking, working or even playing.
Don't allow this problem to continue to limit your ability to have a happy, healthy, active life.
