Having a good neurologist is key to figuring things out and getting good care.
I fully agree with that.
Although, sometimes having a good one is not enough, and you need an extraordinary one. Which may take a very long time to find!

Since you now have breathing problems, you should really go see a pulmonologist.
A pulmonologist with a good understanding of neuromusuclar disease is indispensable, once you have respiratory muscle involvement.
Preferably, also find one that has a good understanding in non-invasive respiratory support, and knows if, when and how to use it.

Also a good GP that can orchestrate it all, is very helpful.
