    Copied the URL and Sounds Like the Nueropathy is Worth It
    Thank you for the article. I needed to read this news. This next year will be important for me. Praying NED status continues and feeling like maybe the ongoing nueropathy is OK -- OK tradeoff for NED Status.

    Good question
    And, while this one does not, there is a slew of data about the addition of oxi for stage 4 and its benefit.

    It also
    Shows that efficacy studies don't just stop at FDA approval, which seems to be a common misperception.

    Positive News
    I feel the same as you. I guess the nueropathy is better then the alternative. I was on oxy 3 years ago and my feet will never be the same. Doesn't stop me from doing anything though. Hope the same is true for you.
