DanP: I think your NP is the closest related to my husbands NP, His is because of an extended period of untreated diabetes. We have Endocronologist(Diabetes Dr) who my
husband thinks is a quack (I sorta agree) she said that 300 sugar numbers were OK numbers, needless to say we ran screaming from her office never to be seen again. We have an Intern Medicine Dr who has been keeping an eye on our liver, kidneys and such, we have a Neurologist who is helping us with this nerve damage sitch, and a kidney specialist who does the obvious, and now a cardiologist to see if the heart is causing any of the pain,. The neurologist was the one who referred us to the heart Dr and he said " I really don't know why you are here the damage you have is normal for a man of your age (46). Oh yea, he has an aunt who has Charcot Marie Tooth (CMT) disease, so we went to have that checked out too!!!! Guess what?? NEGATIVE. The only common denominator that I see is they all seem to think that he might need a pain management Dr. to help us with this deal. Your opinion would really be appreciated and anyone else that would like to chime in. Thanks a Bunch..... This has been a grueling experience
