I have the same issue. I’ve been to 4 neurologists who all do the nerve test and diagnose Peripheral Neuropathy and recommend B vitamins and gabapentin. No follow ups. 😡
This post interests me as I spent several hours yesterday going thru the extensive list of neurologists that is posted here on the link. I narrowed it down to just 2 who may have expertise in PN. I think that 99 per cent of them are located in Boston. Going to a doctor in Boston means parking up to several blocks away and walking to their office. If we as a group have difficulty walking in our homes, how are we expected to accomplish this. Some may also have offices in suburbs where a close up parking lot is available. That would mean the difference in seeing them. But back to the issue of most of us already have seen our local neurologists and think that a neurologist who specializes in PN may be more helpful is not what I am reading here is the answer. Did anyone get any more clarity on PN seeing a specialized doctor? I am always hopeful that a doctor out there has a better understanding than your basic neurologist who just wants to prescribe a pain pill and call it a day. Thanks

All I know is that a cure will never happen in my lifetime. I'm not even sure how many years I've got left.
