A month isn't bad for a neuro, especially one who is familiar with neuropathic face pain. I got referred to what turned out to be a migraine specialist and he was booking 6 months out. So I went with the neuro with the first opening - who then tracked down the first neuro for a consult while I waited in the office, so that worked out.

Anyway, here's some more info for you, since you've got some time to prepare - http://www.fpa-support.org/providers...onwithHCP.html

This is on the Trigeminal Neuralgia Association's (TNA) new website. Wander around there as that's the best resource for information, support, etc. other than the book.

Good luck and holler if you have more questions.
