I've been suffereing from severe headaches for about a year and a bit which various GPs at my surgery have said were migraines. Recently I was prescribed "the gold standard" tablets for migraines and they made no impact on the pain so GP decided to refer me to neurologist.
I know and appreciate that hospitals are busy and I don't want to be one of those people who complains, but how long should I wait from my GP's appointment to receiving notification from hospital of when the appointment will be? I'm finding it harder and harder to function with almost daily pain and just want to have a date in my diary for the appointment so that I can look on.
It's been three weeks since my GP appointment and I've heard nothing yet - should I be pushing yet or hold off for a while. As I say, I don't want to be a pain but these headaches are really impacting on my life.
