It is very likely that your neurologist is treating you as a specialist. I think it's important to get some things straight. There is a level of practice that deals with concern for the overall welfare of the patient. Unfortunately no one wears a little name tag as Primary Care Physician and we sometimes expect every doctor to be our primary care physician. If you think about it for more than a minute, that doesn't seem very practical.
Any doctor can assume the role of a primary care physician and many specialist, do.
The key factor is that you know in whom you have placed this responsibility and they also know and accept this. Since it's a New Year, I thought I'd like to emerge from the stack to talk about a few things that the research people never get around to. Basically, these are problems which doctors generally do not deal with. In some cases the reason is that the doctor considers this as something that you just have to learn to live with and in other cases they are things which the doctor has no idea how to treat. Whatever the reason, we are stuck with them.
