I see my neurologist every 3 months. I make the appt for the visit before I leave the office. It can take a few months to get an appt if you are a new patient. It can help to get an appt more quickly if your PCP is willing to call and request one. Try to get the appt yourself first

They shouldn't care if your symptoms are different. Mine just listened to everything I said the first time I went. Then he tried to figure out what may be causing my pain.

Unfortunately, both my neuro and rheumo rely heavily on trying different medications. It really is all they have at their disposal. I'm not sure what type of testing you've had but the specialist usually order a lot of testing. They know what to look for
