Saw my Neuro today and he was his usual dismissive, arrogant, challenging self. He did come around, after my persistence of wanting to rule out more surrounding SFN, and referred me to another neurologist for further review and EMG/nerve conduction study. I'm not 100% sold on him doing this because he's nit qualified to help me in these areas any longer or he chooses to rid of me. Win, win either way. I'll hang in there with him for now with migraine treatments which are cut and dry but, not sure I will ever care to work with him again regarding SFN.

@qball2019 - thanks so much for giving me a nudge in the right direction. It was what I needed to hear at the right time as my medical relationship with this Dr has caused me undo stress. It's like sticking around in a bad marriage for the kids. My SFN, aka "the kids" , made me feel trapped to not cut my nise off to spite my face. I deserve better. So, I guess it was meant to be.

He is graciously helping to expedite the referral for me and we shook hands upon departure. Fair.

I suppose his ego and arrogance in hyping himself up made me believe he was the only one to help me and that's not true. Lesson learned. Boy, do I keep learning.

PS...to make myself feel better I left a couple of poor reviews at various sites about my experience with him over the past year. 😂

I'm so sorry to hear that your Dr. treated you so poorly. Maybe him referring you to a different one will be a blessing. Now get yourself ready for your appt. with the new one. Make yourself a list of what you want to mention. Include your frustration with this last guy and how he made you feel. Pour it all like we were talking about previously. Make sure after you put all your cards on the table that ask him/her if they are willing to think out of the box a little bit.Then ask if they are willing to work with you. That way they already know what you expect before moving forward.

Best of luck to you! Keep us posted!!
