I do work in the medical field so I tend to use medical terminology when appropriate, and my doctors are aware of my profession so I hope they don't think I'm trying speak "over my head"

I've also done a lot of research and learned so much here on this board about my condition, so I feel like walking a fine line when speaking with my doctors and letting them in on how much I know.

So when they go in to their "neuropathy talk" and I know what they are going to say before the words come out of their mouth, most of the time I just sit there and nod my head and act like I'm learning something new.

One thing that is frustrating is, if I now know that "achy pain" isn't something helped my TCA's and Antieleptics, shouldn't the neurologist know this? If I know of dozens of tests for neuropathy causes shouldn't the doctors? I'm still learning to dance with the doctors to get proper treatment, but it's a process.
