The Neuropathy Association is the leading national non-profit organization serving the peripheral neuropathy community.  We provide support and education, advocate for patients’ interests, and promote research into the causes of and cures for neuropathy.

Peripheral Neuropathy is one of the most common diseases most people have never heard of…and yet, upwards of 20 million Americans have it. Peripheral neuropathy is caused by damage to your body’s peripheral nerves. This damage disrupts the body’s ability to communicate with its muscles, skin, joints, or internal organs.  It is like the body’s wiring system breaking down.  If ignored, neuropathy can lead to numbness, pain, weakness and incoordination.  However, diagnosed and treated early, peripheral neuropathy can often be controlled, slowing the disease’s progression.

"I Want to Be There for My Daughters"

Most people are confused about neuropathy. It’s like, “Well, you don’t look sick.”

It’s not like your arms are black and blue or your limbs are missing. They can’t see anything, so it’s hard for them to believe you’re really sick. There are no observable signs.

My daughters don’t really understand. When I was real sick, they said, “It scares me when you get sick, because I’m not sure if you go to the hospital that you’ll come back home.”
