Hello all,
I've had increasing fatigue in my legs for the past 10 yrs. Have recently had lumbar and thoracic spine MRIs and my neurosurgeon has referred me to neuromuscular specialist. If he doesn't have an answer I plan to talk to my epileptologist, as the antiseizure med I'm on can cause ataxia. I've had nerve studies and those showed only minor neuropathy. I'm blessed with good insurance.

First saw Sleep doc for night foot pains. When the Rx prescribed kept needing higher doses I sought neuro pain specialists. Sleep doctor never referred me to a neurologist. After other similar experiences I googled for neuro pain specialists at my local hospital, Pain clinic did tests and I was found eligible for an SCS device to relieve foot pain. Excellent relief til recently when late night pain began No adjustment in device done and no physical issues found by neurosurgeon. Now using Gabapentin and walking to relieve night pain, Also self referred when pills not relieving RLS movement. New neuros pecialist adjusted dousing and then suggested a patch Nupro that relieves RLS all day/night and replaces 8 pills a day. I realize though all the docs treating me were competent they seem to live in silos for their speciality and do not refer. Self advocacy helps seek more effective answers.
