I'm sorry about your bad experience! I had to "fire" my first neurologist too. Not because he was rude, but because he didn't seem to care enough about what I was experiencing to take a good look at my blood labs and try to interpret my grossly abnormal results. I guess my "case" didn't interest him very much. Anyway, sometimes people who are healthy don't understand what it is like to have scarey and uncomfortable symptoms. I hope you can find a good neurologist who is more compassionate!

I think my mouth dropped. Has anyone ever had a doctor be so rude to you? He didn't even bother to say, hey lets do some tests to see if this is true. What a JERK. Well at least I have a new one, lets hope he is compassionate and wants to help me. Thanks for listening. By the way I am 40 and have had neuropathy for about 6 months, the only symptom I have is a stabbing, sharp, burning pain in both of my feet.
