That is a very good question Megan, " not just general neuro's " but in the beggining of my PN problems i was very disappointed in the lack of obvious signs of PN even by several general practitioners who are taught the basics of PN in their training, only one of them, an elderly doc said possible neuritis after running a pin down my leg.
Then after constant hounding to my local doc who didn't have a one clue about burning feet, sent me to a rheumy who was another that didn't have a clue either and said he could not find anything wrong with me [ no blood tests given ] and when i asked to be reffered to a neuro, the rheumy said " i can't
see a reason why "
Then after a battle, i got to see a neuro in Geelong hospital who was suppose to be a top neuro, who done a nerve conduction test and said i had nothing wrong with me, again another idiot.

It wasn't until i found our old forum BT, that the good people here advised me to see only a neuro who knows about PN, that's when my luck changed and i got a refferal off my gp to see the Collins st neuro, when he seen the other neuro's report about the NC test, he said " who wrote this rubbish ? " and threw the report accross his table like it was rubbish ,which it was.
I hope he can find the route of your problems too.
good luck for Jan'.
