My partner was with me and did try to speak up but to little avail. In the UK it if difficult to get to see a specialist of your choice unless your GP is prepared to make a referral to one , otherwise you just get whoever is the doctor/consultant at your local hospital, that is the way the National Health Service (NHS) works here. I have found the name of a specialist in PN and he is not far away from where I live. I will ask my GP to refer me as a private patient if I don't get something positive from the neuro I am seeing in the NHS, but an worried about doing this in case he brands me neurotic.

I have thought about the intolerance issue and I am looking in to where i can et some tests for this done. Truth is I eat very little which has a lot of gluten, I am a vegiaterain and generally eat well, organic stuff and a good home cooked varied diet. I aslo take suppliments B comlex, omiga oil etc.

What a position to be in!
