LifeWithPN : Message: TIPS I picked up, anyone else have any?

Last week I went to a PN Support group meeting with a good Neurologist as the speaker and got a couple tips I wanted to share with everyone with PN.

Here's what I learned that I didn't know:

Our small (PN) nerves grow 1 milimeter per day but when distroyed or damaged like ours the growth actually starts at the spine area.

On EMG+ test (that fun one with needles!) the results come out completely "normal" at times because the small tiny nerves that we have damaged are too small to pick up on this test.

And the best TIP was; To ask our Drs for a perscription of TOPICAL LIDOCAINE 4-5% to put on the most painful areas; Slather on, wrap with suran wrap, keep on 1 hour and then wash off. Do 2 more times in the day for 1 month. If after that it does help, you can go down to once per day. This guy uses this for his patients and finds good results, of course if your already using patches maybe this would be in addition or in other areas of body... ask your Dr.

Anyone else have any tips to share?
