This past friday she gave a call that i missed the appt in march 3rd(i did on the basis that she wasnt going to tell me anything different instead trying to get me to say things that i am mentally all in the head). She said in the call, that could this be stress related, and kept saying it keeps going away and keep coming back. She basically repeated what she said 2 months earlier, is it stress?
and apparently the mystery specialist was a Opthamologist, and not a neurologist doctor, do you think the specialist can refer me to a a rheaumatologist, or neuro doctor.

If you skip appointments because you are suspitious of your PCP you might burn a bridge that you might need later. IMHO. I need my PCP to link my insurance to any other DR. As long as you are still getting referrals, it is a new pair of ears to hear you. Stress and anxiety can play a major role in neurological conditions but you are probably the best judge of how much you are being affected by these. Many have been funneled into the psychosomatic category and have to be calm and prepared for new referrals by focusing on physical symptoms that you deem the high priority. Good Luck, Ken in Texas.
