Thanks En bloc. I am wondering if at 2.5 years post diagnosis, it would make sense to see one. I never have. I have mentioned it to my PCP but was told "they're just going to want to repeat a bunch of expensive tests to confirm what we already know, that you have peripheral neuropathy and it is incurable".

I've heard the "expensive" remark a few times and I do not understand it. So, because they are costly we should not do them? Why were they developed if they wrote going to be too expensive and therefore not utilized?

Anyway, should I consider seeing a rheumatologist?
