Exactly this. And this is a problem that exists all over the world.

It's just absurd. Even though I "proved them wrong" (it feels weird to say it this way) more then 1 time by eventually ending up with bloodresults like someone with a progressive muscle disorder, or even in a real crisis ending up in intensive care, neurologists are still to ignorant.
If I say I can feel my diaphragm getting weaker, they still manage to say -and believe it themselves- it's in my head. "Nah you're just scared to end up on the oxygen machine again, which isn't weird, you have the right to be scared!" Not until it is proven in bloodtests it is true.

I cannot understand how neurologists can just ignore the reporst of the pulmonologists.

Anyway anacrusis, what did the neurologist say to be disrespectful to you?
