Great question AND response.

My dr also suggested I see a neurologist. While it is needed for documenting the downhill trajectory of my illness, they already missed the years where value might have come as a result of seeing a neurologist.

By the time it’s suggested, that ship has sailed.

There’s nothing a neurologist can do for my condition.

With no official diagnosis, I’ve been unable to thrive and had to move home at 60 while waiting for my disability denial again even tho I’m only able to earn 12k a year with this condition.

A neurologist can’t do a dam thing to change my past or future besides keep track of faltering abilities and my regular dr can do that.

Exactly! Sending compassionate hugs. I'm glad to know I'm not they only one who has had this reaction to neurologists. Mind you, my husband's neurologist is top notch, very kind, very willing to listen, but he's kinda become irrelevant. As you couldn't, your regular doctor can do that. (So can APRNs, if they're in the primary practice. I love APRNs for their straight shooting.
