Default Seeking pernicious anemia specialist in LA

I'm currently very dissatisfied with my doc's diagnosis.

The symptoms include headache, optic neuritis, Uhthoff's, brain fog, fatigue. The current diagnosis of migraine might be stretched to cover those, but it does not explain the paresthesia of the left foot, nor the occasional full-body tremors that last for an hour or two. Nor does it explain the CBC findings of high RDW, low MCHC, and low MCH.

The neurologist to whom I was referred did not even know what Uhthoff's sign was. Nor did he believe that it might be significant that I had used lots of antacids for weeks prior to onset of symptoms. So I'm feeling like I'm in some Kafkaesque tale of torture by incompetent doctors.

I'm looking for a doc in the LA area - or anyplace in Southern California - who specializes in pernicious anemia, and who might take me seriously when I say that I've got a better diagnosis than my doc. Heck, even Northern California would do.

Thanks
RMS
