Welcome to NeuroTalk though we are always sorry when someone needs to be here. I don't know if I have any specifics that will help, but do what you can and ask for help if and when you need it. My pain got so bad before I got meds that I had to go to the emergency room. But for me Tegretol took the pain away almost instantly once I got a prescription. Maybe an emergency room visit would speed things up if waiting till your appointment is too hard. Try not to give up hope. There are things that should help but sometimes it takes awhile to find them.
