After diagnosis, do you continue to see your neurologist?

Hi again John. I would like to think there’s an identifiable cause for this peripheral neuropathy so that I can address it, but I’m starting to think that it’s idiopathic and it’ll be a question of just managing it. Which is why I’m wondering if I would be seeing the neurologist again, or if I should try and find a different kind of specialist to approach managing it from a holistic perspective.

Keep seeing your neurologist! Maintain communication, because this disease may continue to change on you, and you will need the neurologist’s expertise. Also they keep up with the latest research and development. My neurologist works with me on medication dose changes, prescribes a compounded pain cream, and documents changes in my condition. He is also my resource for neurological testing and interpretation as needed. If you have a neurological condition, you will always need the care of a neurologist. They will help you decide on the frequency and type of follow-up you need from them. And if you have changes, it’s easy to get an appointment as needed.
