Finding specialists, especially Neurologists, can be daunting.
Just a thought, choose a hospital you like (that has top Neurologists) and go through the emergency room. Once you are through the doors they can't turn you away. Maybe you can have a sleep study performed as well to address the insomnia.
Hope things improve for you soon.

I have been admitted through the emergency room a couple times and once I was in, the Neurologists only did the most basic tests, and when they couldn't find anything didn't look any further. they said I would have to do anything else on an outpatient basis with a specialist. *shrug* usually the name they gave me didn't take my insurance and didn't know the name of anyone who did.

I know that I have very bad sleep apnea. apparently it runs in the family. our dad has it, we have it, our son has it (like the Force, but negative). We know that other friends of ours with bad sleep apnea like ours were put on c-pap machines to help their breathing when they sleep. We couldn't use a c-pap machine. It is beyond triggering for us to have anything on our mouth and/or nose while we sleep. Now, it is possible that we have another problem in the form of an obstruction of some kind in our nose. We were asked once if we had ever broken our nose, a question we simply don't have the answer to. And we don't know if our current PCP would pursue it. But it's also something that often get lost in the shuffle.
