But without nerve damage the symptoms lost their importance to him. I think that's a problem with doctors. Without tangible damage they can't commit to the disease, but I believe it takes time for damage to show. Am I suppose to wait for it? I am beyond frustrated. Anyway, I have all the usual SFPN sensations: burning, tingling, pins & needles, buzzing, random sharp pricks. itching on feet, legs, hands and mouth. Evening & nights are the worst. I will be going back to my original doctor who does feel I probably have SFN although he hasn't made it official.
Uglogirl: yes I will tell my primary neurologist exactly what happened.

i think its about time to find another neuro if you can, This neuro seems too lazy, dint want to do anything, but only see you as a cash cow. a top specialist in thier field, doesnt mean that thier the neccesarily the best doctors. Some doctors that arnt in the top are the best. Im pretty sure he is the best in the research field, if he is more invested in being a scientist, hes unlikely going to put effort into being a good doctor, being a doctor is a side job to him, and some doctors are annoyed at patients who complain too much. you can compare this to college professor, some people are only professors, so they can do research/scientist, on the professor side, they are the worst teachers of the subject because all thier energy is into research and not teach mundane subjects to lowly students, but good at researching. or he is more interested in rare diseases in stead of the common "neuropathy".
