I really hope you would find a better doctor.
Thanks so much stillHoping. I'm trying not to expect too much but I should be seeing a neurologist in a larger hospital with a good reputation and better equipped to test and more acquainted with rare types of neuropathy. Fingers crossed for me and glad you've got your neurologist fighting your corner at last. I still have a 10 week wait to see one as this is the NHS. X
