The motor neuropathy after awhile causes tremors it’s frustrating.
On the website all it says is movement disorders. You are looking for a neuromuscular neurologist. Look under specialty they treat neuropathy.

Thank you so much artemis. That must be where the twitching is come from, I noticed they're twitching in my fingers starting 5 years ago, and yes it feels creepy and it looks creepy. I did not see the word neuromuscular listed by any of those neurologists, do you think I should just ask the doctor if he is neuromuscular neurologist?

I would ask. After mine passed a way I discovered neurologist have specialities. Some do seizures and ms others deal with other neurological diseases. You want one that knows how to treat neuropathy. I am having to try and fight for one in Dallas they are not easy to find.
Try Dr. Jillian Anderson. She is affiliated with Overlook Hospital in Summit, NJ. She is kind, compassionate, thorough and smart. She spends time with you so that she understands the issues. When Penn Medicine failed to correctly diagnose me, she evaluated me thoroughly and was able to diagnose my problem.
Thank you so much evigg208. I just called the office though, and the secretary told me that peripheral neuropathy is not one of Dr Alderson's Specialties and doesn't treat for that. Maybe the secretary just doesn't know? So she treated you for peripheral neuropathy?

Sounds like the doctor gave up on treating PN, most of them don’t have a clue what to do about it!
It’s all about genes. The testing is very expensive but that’s where the problems are located, in the genes.
Never get rid of it, you have to learn to live with it!
Have PN and find that rigorous exercise… bike, treadmill and leg weight exercises… brings pain relief along with improved balance. If issues prevent exercise for a few days or more, returning to gym brings relief. Have to push your way through. Good luck!
