All neuro`s aren`t created equal, my first two in my opinion were arrogant idiots. They couldn`t diagnose me even with me telling them exactly what I had and what tests I needed.

My current one is cool, we have an understanding. He is aware that I am aware, I am not going to take pills, treatments, anything with out researching it myself. He would like to see me every 6 months, but I told him every couple of years unless something out of the ordinary happens.

I am not a hypochondriac, I don`t like to pop pills just because, so I don`t ask for anything I don`t feel I don`t truly need to get by. If I need something we discuss it and he tends to agree, my logic is usually inescapable.

I have Kaiser for insurance, so I go through their network, the neuro will only handle issues related to the neurological problems, but doesn`t hesitate to refer me to my pcp or other specialized departments.
