Do you experience uncomfortable
and unpleasant feelings in your
legs or arms? Shooting pains? Pins
and needles or hot burning sensations
in your hands or feet? Do you pass
it off as an arm that fell asleep or a
leg sat on incorrectly?
Then you may be just like
Mims Cushing, who is one of the
millions of Americans diagnosed
with peripheral neuropathy. This
prevalent disease causes pain that
is often severe, constant, difficult
to treat, and difficult to live with.
Mims has dedicated her life to educating the world about this
debilitating and often undiagnosed disease.
Educate your audience as Mims explains:
• Just what the numbness,
tingling and pain feels like in a
patient’s arms and legs.
• Why 60 to 70 percent of
people with diabetes have mild
to severe neuropathy.
• How to prevent and delay
nerve damage and perhaps
lessen your symptoms.
• Why the treatment for
cancer can cause
peripheral neuropathy.
• What causes this disease and why it is often
misdiagnosed or thought to be merely a side effect of
another disease.
CREDENTIALS: Mims Cushing lives with peripheral
neuropathy. She has published extensively in magazines
and newspapers, including the New York Times. Her
latest book, YOU CAN COPE WITH PERIPHERAL
NEUROPATHY, is collaboration with Dr. Norman Latov
designed to assist anyone living with this disease.
