I can only guess but I don't believe they(Neuro) despair and keep their mouth shut. Yes they may breathe different air than the rest of us(brainy) and yes the waiting lists are long and time is money. I think that "What we have here is a failure to communicate". For example at my last GP visit he handed me papers that usually have side effects of drugs,etc. I usually don't pay much attention.(My fault0 bUT IN THE PAPERS WERE SCATTERED REFERENCES TO PERONEAL,mULTIFOCAL pOLYNEUROPATHY. sOMEONE HAS BEEN TALKING TO SOMEONE. And it has not been me. I am trying to remember these words while fighting w/ the caps lock so this may or not be my diagnosis. But other than taking Draconian measures(hiring muscle) I feel that everyone is talking behind my back and I want in on the conversation. As another poster stated," So What?" Lets suppose you get lucky and have a good long revealing talk w/ the person who knows. Your treatment will only vary from mine according to what your blood tests dictate. If I am off track somebody set me straight. Stem Cell research, P-10 Knockdown, all are still in rats and mice. I may be feeling left out but I continue to feel better,better balance, am able to get up from toilet,(wooo-hooo). The shower may hurt but not so afraid of falling as before. Baba, I am not lumping all Neuro's into a bunch, just mine. Plus I will get my explanation, oh yes, I see my GP in three months. I wish you luck, Ken in Texas. P.S. 24hrs now without Hydrocodone 10-325, can you TELL!!!! but"that" they say is another story.
