I think for me and I am beyond frustrated because I just switched again internists and I know not neuro but have had the same issue when switching neuros. I feel the docs don't listen and are so rushed. If it is not concrete they brush it off. For example along with my pain I often get this breathing/dizzy issue and since nothing in tests come up it is brushed off. When I connect my symptoms the specialist I see whether a neuro or endo what ever only looks at theres and the internists want to shove me off to the specialist. I hate the shove off. The neuro says go to the internist,the internist to the pain,the pain back to the neuro. No one wants to take responsiblity. The random trying of different things like meds,pt,different pain relief like stimulators that to me is just guessing. I have went to 4 pain docs with 4 different things I should do. What do I just just pick one. I have gotten snapped at for asking more questions and told flat out they would ask them. Ok sorry this is my rant maybe off topic. I feel listening,acknowledging ones feelings/issues,and a doc who will look out of the box would be good. It may take an extra 5 minutes of there time but will in the long run save a lot.I know there must be some good docs out there but after how many I have seen without feeling I can call on any of them an actually being put in more pain for example yesterdays physical exam I start to loose hope and not want to go to anymore. The pain I have daily is bad enough but when it is extra from the docs and I still get no answers it is frustrating. Ok sorry about my rant.
