There are members here who have found neurologists that
are helpful. But by and large, many doctors are not helpful, or even friendly towards PNers.

Some of those members may come on here and share their thoughts. Several have been to Hopkins, successfully.

Glenn goes to Cornell-Weill I believe.

We all have pain to some extent. By learning about PN, we all manage in different ways.

You should be reading the posts here... to get a idea of how you can participate in your own journey with your symptoms.

You have to become a detective of sorts, to find your answers.
And accept the fact that a "diagnosis" may elude you in the end.
There are over 100 causes of PN. Trauma, infectious agents, toxins, drugs, autoimmune and vaccine assaults, metabolic changes, genetic inherited PN, nutritional deficiencies, etc.
In the end when no specific cause can be identified, you end up in the idiopathic wastebasket.
