About Neuropathy Resource
I'm Janet, and I started Neuropathy Resource because I remember what it felt like to be lost.
When I first started experiencing numbness and tingling in my feet, I did what most people do — I searched the internet. And what I found was either impenetrable medical jargon, scary worst-case scenarios, or supplement companies trying to sell me something. There was almost nothing written by someone who actually had neuropathy and understood what the day-to-day reality feels like.
So I created the resource I wish had existed when I needed it most.
What This Site Is
Neuropathy Resource is an independent educational website dedicated to helping people understand peripheral neuropathy — what it is, how it progresses, what treatments and management strategies are backed by evidence, and what real life with neuropathy looks like.
Everything on this site comes from a combination of:
- Personal experience living with neuropathy and connecting with hundreds of others who share this condition
- Published medical research from peer-reviewed journals and reputable health institutions
- Conversations with healthcare providers about treatment approaches and evidence-based care
What This Site Is Not
I am not a doctor, nurse, or licensed healthcare provider. I'm a patient advocate — someone who has walked this road and spent years researching, asking questions, and learning from both the medical literature and the lived experiences of people in our community.
Nothing on this site should be taken as medical advice. Please read our Medical Disclaimer for important details about the limitations of the information we provide.
Our Commitment to You
- Honesty first. If the evidence on a treatment is weak or mixed, we'll tell you that. We don't hype miracle cures.
- Transparency. When we review products, we disclose any affiliate relationships. Our opinions aren't for sale. Read our Affiliate Disclosure and Editorial Policy for details.
- Accessibility. Medical research shouldn't require a PhD to understand. We translate complex studies into plain language so you can make informed decisions with your doctor.
- Independence. We are not funded by pharmaceutical companies, supplement manufacturers, or medical device companies. This site exists to serve people with neuropathy — period.
Why It Matters
Peripheral neuropathy affects an estimated 20 million Americans, and many more go undiagnosed. It can be isolating, confusing, and frightening — especially in the early stages when you're not sure what's happening to your body.
You deserve clear, honest information from someone who gets it. That's what we're here to provide.
If you have questions, suggestions, or just want to share your story, I'd love to hear from you at: janet@neuropathyresource.com
