thanks for reply. YES, I trust & like my Neuro. He seems to understand & takes time to listen & explain. We have good rapport & relationship established over 6 yrs.
biggest issue is distance -very long drive now to see him since he moved but to me worth it, after consult w/ several other Neuro's --most were very frustrating disappoint appts after long wait. in this area it can take several months IF these DRs are even taking new patients. Even getting in w/ my neuro now takes weeks. I don't like going to new DRs -neuros who want to start from scratch, who are un-diagnosing me on first exam, or prescribe meds, treatmts tried unsuccessfully long ago....
for now I'm comfortable w/ my neuro DR B.--who knows what's been done, tried and usually has something to suggest or try. He's been my pain mgt.
He hasn't given up on me yet, & vice versa.

I do have a scheduled f/u appt w/ him next week -- RE: BOTOX treatmts.-- I had 1st treatmt 2 mths ago for debilitaing headaches/pain.--another problem & long story...
and also IVIG he's been ordering for years, but got denied; resumed 2 mths ago after 2 yr fight w/ insurance .{thanks to you & others who referred me to IVLiving advocates.)
wondering if IG or Botox may be factors??

Do intend to address these , pain & other problems then , see if he thinks its CIDP or something else. and what to do...
I will ask about tests.

just have to get thru next week.... I went back to bed for most of day--seemed better than trying to move about in pain & risk more falls.

thanks again....
