Default Any Suggestions for Next Step in Treatment?

Hi - I am new to this site and I am very grateful for having found it. I spent many hours Friday reading and getting some wonderful info - thank you to everyone who has shared your journey. I am wondering about the next step to take in my treatment and wanted to see if anyone has a suggestion. I started having neuropathic symptoms in March. I went to a rheumatologist who has given me a clean bill of health. Went to two dermatologists and one told me it might be neuropathy. Went to a local neurologist who did a simple sensory test, said it appears to be neuropathy, and Rx Neurontin - which I started, reluctantly, but must do so because of painful sensations. Also Rx Metanex - and told me to "cross my fingers". I'm finishing my second 30-pill bottle of Neurontin and I'm trying to decide whether to try another local neurologist (the only one listed with the Neuropathy Association is in a distant city in my state) or to go ahead and try to see someone at the closest Neuropathy Center (which would be in TN - in neighboring state).Has anyone here been to the center in TN? What is your feedback? I would like to try to get as much reliable information as possible - for my investment.
Again, I am grateful to have found this website - thank you!
