Hi Peg ~ There is NOTHING sadder than a doctor who does NOT LISTEN to his patient!! This just makes me so mad! And the trouble is, there isn't anything you can do about it unless you want to actually CONFRONT him about it ~ and if he's like most Neuro's, he'll get highly insulted. I think if I were you, I'd find another Neuro ~ a different doc couldn't do any worse than THIS one is doing, right??? Someone else is BOUND to be better than this one.

I go to a GP, and i've had central pain for 25 years now. It's gotten just plain out of hand, but at least my doc is tryiing everything he can think of. I started going to him a little over a year ago, so i'm gonna give him more time.

Bless your heart ~ I know that changing docs is a hassle, but you HAVE to do something dearheart. You can't continue on like this. With that kind of pain, you'll drive yourself insane - believe me, I'm almost there myself.

I'll keep you in my prayers and pray for relief from this horrible pain for you! Take care, and God bless. Hugs, Lee
