New management for Grafschaffer Self -help group in polyneuropathy wanted!

Grafschaft Bentheim, Deutschland - The self -help group for those affected by polyneuropathy in Grafschaft Bentheim is urgently looking for a new management. Hermann Brünink, the previous leader, had to resign for personal reasons. This disease of the peripheral nervous system often leads to unpleasant symptoms such as tingling and muscle weakness. Interested parties are asked to continue the valuable group, which was founded in 2020 and provided the sick with information during the Corona pandemic, with Dr. Annegret Hölscher. The group launched regular meetings in May 2022, which also invite experts from various areas to provide comprehensive information, reports from Grafschaft-bentheim.de .

Polyneuropathy is complex and has a wide variety of causes. According to Dr. Christian Porsche, a neurologist and medical consultant, are not only diabetes mellitus and alcohol consumption frequent triggers, but also many other factors give rise to concern. Despite intensive medical examinations, the cause remains unknown in about 30% of the patients, which requires thorough diagnosis and therapy planning. The focus here is on the improvement of complaints and the increase in quality of life. The establishment of such self-help groups, as they also exist in Nordhorn, serves to avoid the isolation of those affected and to promote the exchange with each other, such as self-help-polyneuropathie.at reports.

voluntary work and support

Brünink received recognition for his committed voluntary work. He and his team provided valuable information during their tenure and actively supported patients. Personal exchange among the members is considered irreplaceable, especially in order to obtain information about cost acquisitions by health insurance companies. Brünink hopes for a quick succession in the management team to resume the ongoing activities of the group as soon as possible.
