What type of doctor do you get your PN care from?

I see my Primary Care doc and he has checked vitamin/minteral levels for me. He made a referral to a neurologist, but after repeated contacts, they never called me back. So I found a good podiatrist, and she prescribed Metanx for me, and she just did a skin biopsy and has referred me to a nerve study lab to have an EMG. So, in my case, the podiatrist has actually been a great help. My spine surgery last year (laminectomy) was done by an ortho spine specialist, so not a neurologist. He prescribed Lyrica to try and help with the neuropathy, but that didn't help and helped me gain 25 pounds, so I'm no longer taking that. He is also the one who sent me to PT, and I am continuing to go six months out, but less often per month than I did in the beginning. Hope some of this may help. Best wishes! Mike
