You know since I was dx with PN and RSD I have had other health conditions with the skin,eyes,ear. I have been tested for everything under the sun. I always wonder what the PN and RSD caused. It is too odd to me that before all this I had none of these and now I do. Finding a doctor though that connects all health problems is very hard as many here know.
Jak I hope that this will go for you completly and not come back. Feel better

I think that a doc who connects the relationship of one thing to another is a 'physiologist' (or something similar), but they usually are connected to sports medicine and treat pro athletes. finding one who knows neurology as well, is like finding a needle in the proverbial haystack. :eek:
It seems that most docs have tunnel vision and are unable to connect the dots to be a medical detective in diagnosing :cool:- even diagnosticians hardly look beyond the tip of their noses. :mad:

I hear ya
 

After the feet, came a whole host of issues. I have never had so many problems in the past as I have now.

I am sorry you both can relate. I agree that many doctors don't like to look out of their speciality. If they did they would help so many more people. Many I have seen say nothing is connected and a fluke. I don't buy it cause it is too many problems, never happened before,and I am too young.
Nide I saw a physiologist and maybe I just saw one who was not good but he was less helpful then neurologists I saw.

I think what you both meant--
 

--is a physiatrist--a doctor who is trained in orthopedic and neuromuscular relationships.

There are both good an bad physiatrists--I've seen a few, for my leg length discrepancy and lumbosacral issues over the years--at least most are trained to try to see the biomechanical connections amongst different organ systems.

Yeah ! Dat's da right name.
I couldn't think of it.
Thanks Glenn
From what I gather, they're not so easy to find.
Don't think the Yellow Pages have it as a classification

I think Holistic doctors also consider the whole person, but they can be hard to find, unless you are near a teaching hospital.

Yes that is what I meant I saw a physiatrist actually before my neurologists. I also have seen a holistic family medicine doctor. It is true so much depends on the doctor and the care one gets

Be sure to seek out all the 'references' at the bottom. AND be FAMILIAR with all the terminologies [which I believe you are by now].

It should be easy for you to go yay or nay to many diagnostic aspects .. knowing the lingo and go from there.

Good luck! I've had it [tinnitus] since age 10, so, I can't be an expert vis-a-vis neuropathy only. Do check out allergic and vascular possibilities tho. They come into play significantly at times. And then? There can be the complications or aggravations by combining different meds for different problems... Do your homework and LOOK at all your med's side-effects! I've stopped MANY meds because of the s/e's and I'll state it out loud when necessary.

Good luck.... I'm going back under my hi-tension wires now. - j

HUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

Yup
 

It amazes me, how many people that actually have this disorder. They talk about 1 in 5 over the age of 50. How do they get that little stat? I can't tell you, when on Facebook, how many friends and friends of friends have Tinnitus.
