I'd be willing to bet that everyone here has experienced a similar doctor appointment as you described...I know I have on more then one occasion. No one knows exactly what to expect from a new doctor, how they will respond to your symptoms/problems, how open they will be to your feelings on what's happening, whether they will understand your fears, or have any desire to help you. Just as you went into the room with ideas on how you wanted the appointment to go, the doctor had her own thoughts...and obviously they were on opposite ends of the spectrum. Been there, done that!

Now that you've gotten through it and sort of know her thinking (not that you agree with it--but know where she stands), make a plan of attack, so to speak. Go into that next appointment with firm footing on what you're looking for and make sure she hears your expectations.

In the meantime (next 3 weeks), you can see whether the Neurontin is helpful. Make sure to get a copy of the labs she ran. Print out some pics for better viewing then on a phone. And I'd ask her point blank why she's dismissing the EM...since she seen at least some evidence of your feet. She may have a valid reason...but not explaining it to you when you brought it up isn't acceptable. Either way, you asked a question about EM and she needs to answer it in detail.

Stay strong (which it sounds like you are) and prepare for the next appointment.
