Book Description

Targeted to patients, their families and allied health students, The Gale Encyclopedia of Neurological Disorders provides in-depth coverage of neurological diseases and disorders, including stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson disease, Tourette Syndrome, Alzheimer's disease, cerebral palsy, vertigo, amnesia and epilepsy. Related topics include communication aids, electric personal assistive mobility devices, medications for treating neurological diseases and conditions, understanding the needs of Alzheimer patient caregivers and more. This two-volume set provides an alternative to resources that either fail to explore neurological disease in any depth and or do so at a level not appropriate for students and general readers.

GREAT BOOK!
My daughter has Peripheral Neuropathy which was caused from CHEMO following treatment for breast cancer. This book, "Numb Toes and Aching Soles," written by John Senneff, is the first book that she says, "tells it like it is."

The book gives accurate descriptions of the various levels and types of pain...from minor to excruciating pain...that can be experienced by the sufferers of Peripheral Neuropathy.

It also describes the various medicines that may help reduce, or completely stop the pain, including Opiate drugs, like Fentynl, Methadone, etc. He accurately points out that usually, only Specialized Pain Doctors are not afraid to dispense them.

(Note: One new medicine that came out after his book was published, is "Lyrica" which seems to help some PN sufferers find relief.)

It should be noted that John Senneff, copes with Peripheral Neuropathy himself, and knows what it is like to deal with it.He is not a doctor, but he himself was looking for answers, and did extensive research on the subject before publishing his book.The book is written in easy to understand language.

I HIGHLY RECCOMMEND THIS BOOK for anyone seeking helpful information about Peripheral Neuropathy...including those in the medical field who truly wish to help their patients find relief from this painful malady.

Comprehensive study
This is a well written,easy to understand book. Senneff goes to great length to detail information on the subject of peripheral neuropathy.This book is very helpful for anyone looking to understand and seeking relief for this problem.

Anodyne Therapy....GREAT for Neuropathy
I recently was diagnosed with Peripheral Neuropathy by my Podiatrist. He sent me to therapy for a new treatment called Anodyne Light Therapy.I have had 3 treatments and it seems to be helping.I think this is fairly new to Our disease.
You can check this out atwww.anodynetherapy.com for more information.There are no injections...NO pain...only Infared Light Therapy.CHECK THIS OUT.

Disappointing
I bought this book thinking I might learn something new.It is expensive for a paperback, but its 280-odd pages are in a very large typeface, so its cover leads you to expect more to read than there is.There are numerous anecdotes from people who had struggled with diagnosis of this disease - are doctors really so incompetent?Unfortunately, I did not find many of these to be helpful.The book covers quite a lot of treatment possibilities, many of which are not much use, or not available at present anyway.I did not learn anything new from the book, in spite of my hopes from reading other reviews.I had learned from excellent web sites (neuropathy-trust.org) and other books, and as a patient not afraid to ask questions of my doctors, nor intimidated by them, I found that the book did not give me any new knowledge.It is markedly unhelpful with practical solutions - shoes, socks, etc., that are important for day to day living.A big disappointment after the other rave reviews.

Misleading title
Numb Toes. That's what I wanted to learn about. I Read the book, tons of information on Peripheral Neuropathy but very little about toe numbness. Index only lists numbness on page 17. There in one paragraph I found numbness mentioned twice. ... Read more

Not what I expected
I really thought I would find out about my numb toes !!!!!!!This book barely mentioned anything about the loss of feeling in my toes. Don't waist your money if you do not what a bunch of medical jargon.
