@tigermike With all you have you should be seeing a specialist not just a G.P You have the right to get a 2nd opinion if your Dr isn't helping you figure out what is wrong with you . Id see a Endocrinologist to make sure your hormones are normal , Rheumologist also . You didn't say what Dr.s your seeing so Im assuming its just your PCP. Mayo clinic can diagnose if you can get to one or a university hospital close to you .

Yeah my doctor is a pain in the *bleep*. I’ve been wanting to leave him for a while now. Unfortunately I tried to get a second opinion at Mayo but the Phoenix hospital doesn’t accept Medicaid. There is a University Hospital in downtown Phoenix, but I’m not sure what their specialty is.

I was referred to a neurologist way back in mid December, and had to wait 8 weeks to be seen. I had a nerve conduction study done two weeks ago and still don’t have the results.

I’m not really sure how to proceed. I will call the Medicaid provider tomorrow to see what the policy is for second opinions.
