Talk to pcp: Follow up with the neurologist and bring in all of your concerns or symptoms and talk to him/her. If the neurologist still does not address them make an appointment with your family doctor to discuss the concerns. Maybe the neurologist feels they are not related. But it is always important to be open and ask questions.

Be an advocate: I'm not sure your situation, but you are your best patient advocate. You certainly deserve a second opinion, at the very least, so be direct - insist your doctor make a second opinion appointment for you. If he/she can't or won't , you have to consider changing physicians. I can't imagine there's no way you can do this. Good luck
