Pinkynose: I had a similar experience. My general neuro referred me to a neuromuscular specialist who said he thought my symptoms were due to circulatory issues related to my varicose vein disease.

I then went to a vascular surgeon who said that I do have pretty bad varicose vein disease and she recommended surgery to correct it to the extent possible. However, she did not think that the vascular issues were causing my other symptoms.

Of course, just like you - I have other symptoms throughout the body that are clearly unrelated to the vein issues in my legs. I'm not sure why these specialists like to grab onto one symptom and theorize a cause - while seemingly forgetting about all the other symptoms you have.
