How often are you seen?
Not often anymore. My PN is idiopathic (no known cause). I was seen monthly at first, then every 3 then 6 months as each identifiable cause was ruled out.

How long does it take to get an appointment?
Several weeks sometimes. Apparently neurologists are extremely busy these days, or there is a shortage, or both.

Do they even care if your symptoms are different?
Mine don't and haven't. They seem to prefer to review tests and try different meds. I've had two neuros that barely spoke to me (well, there was a language barrier with one).

Is is just all about adjusting the medications?
After testing to identify potential causes, it gravitates more towards symptom management.
