I have been on Peripheral Neuropathy forums here and at Braintalk for 10 yrs now.
The general concensus is that neuros are unfeeling, cold and infuriate patients. The neuros also ignore and dismiss Peripheral Neuropathies... when this is one of the most common neuro conditions afflicting people in all age groups.
Doctors in general also are leary of any patient damaged by drugs. They are afraid of being drawn into court cases or liability actions.
It is demoralizing how they can make one feel. They can accuse you of making your pain up, too.
You are welcome to join our PN forum here. Many patients share this negative view of neurologists, and support each other here.
I'd ask about Lidoderm patches...these can really help.
