If you live close and are flexable, let them know you are only a few minutes away and able to come on short notice. They like to know this and it makes it more likely they will call you if someone flakes out on their appointment last minute.

thanks...
i am on cancellation list. Feb does seem far away....
do hope this specialist can figure out & offer some viable treatmt
in meantime, trying to understand & deal w/ these pains, problems. in any little (and Bigger) ways....
I"ve been trying Lidoderm patches (helps bit but can't put them in all painful spots esp on head)
I've used compounded topicals that contain Lidocaine along w/ other drugs
and have had Lidocaine added in blocks, other injuections
Lidocaine infusions--
I've heard about --would like to learn more....
would be better than getting shots in head, esp if that doesn't or isn't helping
too bad about the "freezing"...
sounds like what happened w/ blocks -for me duration , relief became less & less... so DR didn't want to continue
thanks for sharing...
hope you'll keep updating
and have success...
take care
