This time he didn't even do a clinical. Just looked at the results of the testing my primary had done and prescribed Cymbalta even though "there's nothing wrong". he referred me to a second neuro for another opinion. She agrees nothing wrong, but after fighting with her she agreed to send me for a skin biopsy but wouldn't recommend it as needed so my insurance won't cover it. I have to pay $2000us for the test.

Mainly, you need to have someone you can trust and who is NOT narcissistic, ignorant, and mean from what you have shared.

I suggest talking to some folks in your geographic area. It may be hard to find a NeuroMuscular Neurologist. Is there anyone in your group of family, neighbors, or friends who have a good Neurologist?
