Default Neurologist app. yesterday

I tried a new neurologist yesterday. She is doing more blood work and urine tests and I am trying lyrica again. I tried it once several years ago for my interstitial cystitis. Instead of the lyrica making me sleepy, it makes me feel wired and I can't sleep well at night. I woke up several times last night so will have to see if I can take it and if it will help my PN pain.
I told her the problem I have with my feet getting hot when I am walking and have enclosed shoes and socks on. She acted like she had never heard of that symptom and said most patients say their feet are cold. My feet get cold too but one of my main problems is how they heat up when I am on them and have shoes and socks on. I don't know if this neurologist knows anymore about PN than my last one did but she did spend a good amount of time with me. I go back tomorrow for the blood work because she wants me to go without eating.
