Eric, I hope your anger with us is from frustration. We aren't doctors, and don't play doctor. Maybe you are looking for useful suggestions rather than commiseration? You are getting suggestions, but here's another ~ since you have no money or insurance how about asking for a referral to a teaching hospital, a University Medical Center? They usually offer big discounts.

For example, when I was in the diagnosis process I was in your situation; no money and no insurance. The one neuro I saw (and paid full fare to see) referred me to a UMC that was about 2 hours away. I applied for received a 90% discount.

Sounds like you need a neuro who will act on your problem, not wait. Might as well be one you might can afford.
