No problem :) "peripheral neuropathy" and epilepsy are often mentioned together
because some of the same drugs are used in the treatment of both. I know people
who take the same Neurontin that I take for seizures because their diabetes
causes painful peripheral neuropathy. Here is a decent article of the topic:

http://www.aegis.com/factshts/network/simple/neurop.html and if you plug
"peripheral neuropathy" into Google you'll find a lot lot more on the topic.

Are you developing something that you think might be peripheral neuropathy and
wonder if it might be connected to epilepsy?

Yes, i  did do a google search and did find alot to read.I have been having
something that sounds alot like peripheral neuropathy.I have had it in the
past and my Neuro did a Emg and said all was ok.I called to tell him i am
feeling it again and he wants to do another Emg.I hated the test and it
scared me to pieces.I am neg. for diabetes.
