HIV-Related Neuropathy

Today's video is an Australian view of how HIV can cause neuropathy, whether from the virus itself or the drugs. It comes from PainClinician.com (see link below) and is basically a teaching video for other medical professionals. The difference with most of the other neuropathy videos posted here on the blog, is that if this is what medical students are learning, then we can look at the disease from the point of view of the doctors who treat us. It seems to be full of up to date information and reflects modern medical thinking but apart from the odd scientific term here and there, which may not be so easily understood, the vast majority of the 11 minutes, is pretty interesting to the average neuropathy and HIV patient and explains a few areas which may have previously seemed vague.
