It’s comforting to have a group share, learn from and to relate.
It has been discouraging dealing with doctors that lack knowledge in this area. Worse yet, it’s discouraging that they aren’t open to learn.

In some ways the lack of enthusiasm among the medical world is understandable. There is almost too much to learn given the diversity of people and the diversity of diseases. I plan on my next visit to be more straight forward about what I expect. ie, I need physical therapy to deal with peripheral neuropathy, can you recommend a place? I need to find a pain doctor to help me deal with the pain of peripheral disease, can you recommend one? By narrowing my requests to my GP it should help him to steer me in the direction I need. One specialist that has been very helpful is a podiatrist. I can not bend down to take care of my feet and toenails and my legs cannot bend to accomodate a pedicurist chair. With a doctor's referal Medicare covers 80% and the podiatrist not only gets the feet in good order he understands periperal neurology as it affects the ankles and feet.
