Sufferers often confront pain, weakness, depression, anxiety, fatigue and insomnia. In addition there are long term changes in roles and relationships.Dr. Berman tackles these psychological and social issues in Coping with Peripheral Neuropathy from the viewpoint both of an experienced psychiatrist and of a fellow-sufferer with neuropathy. He details strategies to deal with changing roles at work and at home. He explores relationships and sexuality.Dr. Berman lays the groundwork for learning to cope and improve your quality of life in the face of these chronic diseases. He draws on experience treating chronically physically ill patients including neuropathy patients, as well as his own experience of having a neuropathy for ten years. Many good references are included to expand your knowledge and provide additional help.

5.0 out of 5 stars Invaluable Resource for Professionals (Physicians) and Patients Alike
Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2014

It took three neurologists and almost four years before a definitive diagnosis of CIDP was made in my own case. Whether one has severe diabetic nerve pain, peripheral neuropathy, fibromyalgia, or any of multiple autoimmune disorders that can precipitate chronic pain, Dr. Berman's "story" is one that can benefit any of the afflicted. As other reviewers have clarified, it's not simply his personal experience and clinical knowledge that add substance and impact to this book; but rather his rare insight into the psychology of such illnesses/functional disorders that may prove most helpful to those with peripheral neuropathy or a related condition. Neural scientists have recently revealed that pain has both a physiological component AND a psycho-emotional dimension (actually, they are separate). Therefore, Dr. Berman's comprehensive coverage of these aspects of CIDP/neuropathies offers a guide for understanding and treatment of the associaed disorder(s). Regrettably, I am among the "13%" who were not aided by the IVIG treatments (am so pleased for those who have been helped by such infusions). In fact, I had a nasty adverse reaction to my only treatment which resulted in a severe hearing loss, an ongoing serious dermatological condition, and persistent internal fungal/bacterial infections. Therefore, even though there is little to be done in my case--except for pain medication and ongoing steroid usage--Dr. Berman's asides about the depressive aspects of the disorder, and the importance of physical and psychological therapy have been a lifeline for me. Incidentally, this book is so clinically sound that I believe it should be on the shelves of every physician who may need to treat neuropathy's constellation of disorders. I have now contributed copies to two neurologists, a neurophysiologist, a physiatrist responsible for a large hospital system's rehabilitation clinics, an oncologist/hematologist, and my own family physician. Each has read Dr. Berman's riveting account and each has commented on how glad they were to have added his knowledge to their own practices. This is a rare book from a very special human being. It would be absurd for me to give it less than a 5-Star rating.

Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2012

This thin book is mostly concerning the psychologically management and of what to do when having constant pains (which by science is stated as being during more than 4 month), and also understand to function well if you have to daily need help from other persons. That is, learning to live in this situation, and besides understanding that your still are having the same value as all of the other persons.

In the book there are not many sides concerning pills, but the few sides that there are gives good information with many names and the production difference between the types. Personally I've now during 4 years, after an accident, lived with constantly having pains, resulting in sleeping 8 hours opposite to before only sleeping 6 hours. First using pills against pain but now learned to live without pills.

Interestingly, in the book, among other, I on the side 53 discovered that the herbal kava-kava, vas taken of the shelves in Europe because it caused liver damage. One of the herbals, which it else, before this reading, was my plan to go looking at for possibly use.

Through out the book there are many good remarks concerning other books (and beside bag in the book 4 sides with other writings mentioned). And there are also many www addresses unions and associations concerning people having equal problems; or understand the problems.

My Mom suffers CIDP, same as the author . I bought this for her. However after skim reading the book , I have yet to give it to her. We are still trying to find a treatment that will give her any relief. The author, states he’s very unfortunate and nothing has worked for him. The vibe he gives of his condition feels negative and that’s not what my Mom needs to hear right now.

I have moderate Polly-neuropathy. Six months ago I fired my doctor for trivializing my pain and disabilities. Just for example he said "Nobody should live past 75." I can't express how alone this made me feel.

My present doctor is 75 and he also has neuropathy. He takes my complaints seriously and he has been helpful.

The author of this book, Dr. Berman, is afflicted with a much worse form of neuropathy. Reading his book quickly inspires me with admiration for this man. And yes, not only is my outlook improved, but the book has suggestions that have helped me.

At this point in time, I'm not sure but, I seem to be improving. My pain is less. I now can sleep seven or eight hours each night. And that feeling of my socks being rolled-up under my toes is much less - especially in my right foot. The worst is getting out of bed in the mornings.

I can't say that anything you can do will be a remedy for these disorders. They all have differing causes. But if people so afflicted want to do everything possible to help themselves, this book should be on the list of to do's.

The book is written by a physician who has the most serious form of peripheral neuropathy. He details how he adjusts to it, which is admirable! He writes both from personal experience and from his professional knowledge and experience. It is important to note that not all peripheral neuropathy is as serious and debilitating as his. There is a big range from the mild to the more severe. He explains very clearly what someone who experiences symptoms needs to do in order to get an accurate diagnosis. He goes over the various symptoms and possible resulting disabilities. He details the adjustments that people need to make in order to live their life as fully as possible. The book is a very good resource, and I would advise anyone with a peripheral neuropathy diagnosis to read the book. I would caution anyone who does read the book from being affected by the suffering that this man has had, and concentrate on the possible, and on living life to the fullest!!!
