Next course of action for undiagnosed polyneuropathy

What do you do when a neurologist says you don’t have neuropathy and this after testing was done. I have tingling from my toes up to my hips and some in my arms. No one believes me and says it’s anxiety.

"Invisible" injuries must be maddening for doctors to diagnose. If I were in your position, I would ask the neurologist why it isn't neuropathy. If it isn't neuropathy, what is his/her reasoning to come to that conclusion? I have been fortunate that none of my neurologists have questioned that my symptoms are very real to me. The fact that my tests have not revealed a cause for my symptoms is not evidence that my symptoms do not exist. It just means that they cannot name a cause. Both of my neurologists have braced me for the reality that they may not be able to discover a cause, but neither have invalidated my symptoms. If at all possible, please try to get into the care of another neurologist who takes your condition seriously.
