[QUOTE="Paulbaker, post: 926491, member: 203080"] You don't really need to see a neurologist you need to be sent to the pain clinic. I have been through the NHS pain clinic and unfortunately am one of those diabetics that don't respond to pain treatment. My major problem is the conflicting information I get from my GP - Diabetic nurse - Chiropodist and uncle Tom Cobley and all. I suffer with autonomic, peripheral and gastric neuropothy. GP says it's not unusual, diabetic nurse says it is unusual, in recent foot exam diabetic chiropodist told me that she had never come across anything like it in her life. Spoke to a specialist in California whilst there recently who introduced me to 8 other people who suffered the way I did and told me his colleagues could introduce me to many more. Problem is that the pain pushes up the sugars in your blood and so causes more damage. I take tramadol which takes the edge off the pain and suppliment this with paracetamol when things are really bad. Not a cure but it mostly helps. I also take Quinine when I get cramps. Talk to your doctor and insist on something now. Don't be fobbed off by the doctor saying it is the specialists problem now. [/QUOTE]
