Thank you for the wecome.
Hi I was reading some of the comments on here and was interested in one from someone who has HNPP. I have this rare disease and found lots of info on a Facebook forum. I hope that this will help.

Do you want to share the link to the facebook forum so others can take a look?

Hi All
I don't know the Facebook forum but for credible information about HNPP (Hereditary Neuropathy with Pressure Palsies ) I would recommend the NHS website:
https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/hereditary-neuropathy/
Hope this helps

The Facebook forum is called, HNPP and CMT/NEUROPATHY SUPPORT
I didn't find the NHS wbsite very informative. Typing in HNPP on the web will help to find many websites that give you information. Including a BBC article from 2011. This article was HNPP at the extreme!
If you cannot get the information from your doctor because many of them haven't even heard of it. Then checking the net is the best way.
Thanks
