Dear Al, My name is Wayne Morrison. I was with Fox 2/7 from 67-69. I'm writing to say that I'm sorry to read of your diabeties and neuropathy problems. I'm have basically the same things and can sympathize with you. I have acquired a spinal desease called degenerative spinal stenosis accompanied with defuse perifferal neuropathy. Just 3 weeks ago I was diagnosed with type 2 diabeties as well. I have been seeing a private back specialist until recently when I filed my VA claim. Now I'm under VA care. However the back Dr. put me on a medication called Neurontin. It targets the nerves that cause the neuropathy. It's been a Godsend for me. My pain has deminished greatly. I feel for you brother. Maybe your Dr. could try this on you. There are no side effects just relief. Good luck. Semper Fi.
