@jandy88us I saw a Neuro-Opthalmologist. Dr. Woon. She is with Whitsett Vision Group. They have different Groups so I called and asked where she was located. 713-365-9099. I did see just a Neurologist and his name was Dr. Brian Loftus. 713-715-6367. These are the only two I saw in Houston. I am not a Doctor but I read all about Gabapentin and they gave it to me for my issues but I read it can help with burning. After I was diagnosed with Occipital Neuralgia they gave it to me. It has helped some. I had a burning pain that would come and go in my left hand after I was Diagnosed with small nerve fiber and that was the only burning pain I have had) and now that I think of it I haven’t had it for sometime so maybe the Gabapentin took care of it. I am a retired Rn so that helps me with medical terminology. I am not the only one who has noticed how much the medical field has gone down and boy has it. Have you looked up hospitals with neurologists in Houston? I did a lot of internet searching in Houston. I did find a Neuro-Opthalmologist in Mobile, Alabama and I saw her on December 1st. I needed someone to follow me that was closer. After I explained what was going on she asked me many questions and then she told me she doesn’t think I have Occipital Neuralgia. After reading about the symptoms of ON I haven’t had the symptoms like they are listed. I don’t think I have it either. Have you looked at ratings for Doctors? I know I have somewhat of an attitude after seeing certain Doctors. I understand where you are coming from. When you have something wrong with you and can’t get the help that you need it makes it more difficult. When I first had head pressure and blurry vision on February 17th I went to the hospital for two days. When I came home from that it took me awhile to get back to myself. Come December 17th it will be 10 months since it happened. I am a stubborn woman and in this case a very determined one. I truly hope you can find answers to your issues. Please let me know. @rnlorena
