I was diagnosed incorrectly by an idiotic uncaring neurologist. Then I got a second one and it was only incrementally better. My GP is my go to now. He's great as far as it goes and basically my relationship with him is growing. He's basically told me, look you know way more about this than I do. You do your research bring in support and explain yourself. In my last visit he gave me three out of four medications I asked for and wanted to check with a pain doc he knows before giving me the forth because it had Ketamine in it. (topical compounded cream) And if he wants to do anything and I nix it he never complains. I've been able to finally be upfront with someone in the medical establishment. He told ME that he feels his hands are often tied and the whole industry is corrupted and full of uncaring docs in it for the $$ only. It slightly shocked me but in a very good way.

Sorry for the rant but at this point I have a very poor opinion of the neurologists I've seen and I have no idea what type they were. The idiot type IMO.
