Question about opening sentence
Are all polyneuropathies characterized by simultaneous malfunction of the nerves? Some are progressive, right? --Joelmills 21:28, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

What's a "differential"?
There's a whole section on "differential", but I have no idea what this means. I think this is medical jargon, could someone please clarify for us lay-people? Steve carlson 19:46, 11 May 2007 (UTC)


 * I'm pretty sure in this case it refers to Differential diagnosis, which is a list of possible causes of a symptom or sign such as polyneuropathy. I linked it in the article.  --Joelmills 01:56, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

I think lyme disease is important enough to be listed, its more likely to be the reason some one looked up polyneuropathy in the first place --75.149.128.110 (talk) 15:40, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Proposal to combine with Peripheral neuropathy
I've suggested a major rearrangement of the neuropathy articles at Talk:Peripheral_neuropathy. Please let me know your views. Neurotip (talk) 17:54, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

I've added a Classification section to this page as part of the reorganisation of the articles relating to neuropathy. I appreciate that further work is needed, and would welcome help in the form of comments or edits. Please see the recent discussion on the Peripheral neuropathy talk page.

Seriousness of the illness
I think this article needs to make mention of the fact that for some people,Polyneuropathy is a devastating neurodegenerative illness. The article is not making any mention of the fact that this can be a life threatening disease(in it own right.)even when physicians cannot pin down a cause for it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MrSamGary87 (talk • contribs) 16:32, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

Polyneuropathy - Due to Radio
Modern science has established that the Axon Hillock is RF sensitive and Polyneuropathy can be induced, either deliberately or accidentially, by complex radio emissions. Can we dig up some sources and add them to the article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.47.126.236 (talk) 08:47, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
