I had my annual physical with my GP yesterday, and of course he asked how I was doing. I told him I was frustrated that after 9 months, seeing 4 different neurologists and going through $30,000 worth of testing - all the neurologists said they can't find anything wrong with me.

After I went over my symptoms with him again, he finally said "it sounds like some type of ideopathic neuropathy". (No kidding..........) Of course, the next thing he said is there's no real treatment for that - all we can do is try to control the pain with medications.

This wasn't a firm diagnosis - and it really does absolutely nothing to help me. But at least a Doctor was willing to entertain the possibility that I have some type of neuropathy.

Now, I'll have to work on him to get some additional testing done. (The last neurologist told me I have reached the point of diminishing returns with regard to testing, so he wasn't going to recommend anything else.)
