33 days to the appointment
33 days to see THE Migraine Doctor A Neurologist. I've waited 16 months so far.
I'm feeling annoyed by the littliest things. Being stuck in survival mode for too long is taking it's toll. I'm tired of being unwell and seeing to the appointment coming up is making me so anxious. Its like wanting to win the race but don't know if I have enough in me to get to the finish line without tripping.
I'm worried that he won't do anything useful or different than what I've tried. That it will all be a big let-down. That he can't or won't help me. That my last hope will be lost.

I know how you feel about the wating and worrying he won\'t be able to do anything. I waited almost a year to get into the only pain clinic in the city and I also worried but for nothing, it turned out good. I am sending positive thoughts your way for a positive outcome.

Angela, the best thing to do is to face your fear. This will sound awful but imagine all your worst fears and allow yourself to look carefully at the feelings that come up. Can you survive your worst fear? If you can\'t, go to that place too.
If you do this, you will gain strength. You need strength before you go see this doctor. Don\'t stay spinning around, take action. Worrying is worse than anything. I hope you can relieve your worry, even just a little.
Big Hug,

I totally understand! I am going to a different neurologist on November 18th. I am ready to go to hopefully get some answers and some planned help for after I have my baby but I am also scared to hear that they don\'t know what to do. Prayers for you!
