There's also the definitive diagnoses of the cause, that you don't agree with, it is just one factor of the cause, & probably exacerbated the symptoms - but the docs stop looking because they've 'solved' the problem.
I swear I had symptoms waay before I started to drink and was drinking to Rx myself cause the HMO docs hadn't helped.
When I finally was able to get a proper Dx from a good neurologist, that was the pigeonhole that I got stuck in.
'AN' alcoholic neuropathy - go no further, problem solved!
