Nods. Yeah, I probably should see a neurologist. I mostly have seen an internist and rheumatologist for my pain problems to date, and had a consult with an infectious disease specialist years ago when this all came on after an infection.
I don't have diabetes so far as I know, having been tested twice in 3 years. But I keep checking for it periodically anyway, just in case I develop it due to risk factors.
I know I should see a new specialist about the neuropathy but I am also emotionally burned out on medical care because I have been seeing different specialists for different symptoms which were triggered by the infection (heart rhythm irregularities, digestive issues, etc.) a lot recently and I want a break. It's always something...
