Our aims are to:

Build our own local support group into a vital, helpful resource for our members.

Help create and maintain support groups across the country

Provide a collection of verified resources.

“The experiences I have had with the PN Support Network have been life-changing, I would be much more anxious and lost-feeling if it were not for the good, good experiences I have had with the PN Support Network.”

What is Neuropathy?

Peripheral Neuropathy is a group of neurological conditions that typically affect nerves in the hands and feet, causing pain and numbness. The disease is very hard to diagnose and has many causes, but few cures. However, there is hope through various lifestyle changes, treatments, and peer support.
