I hope it all works out for you.
Not sure what the deal is with dentists and doctors that people can't get a timely appointment. Drives me nuts. I remember going to the dentist with a terrible toothache which luckily coincided with my previously scheduled checkup. The dentist said I needed to schedule another appointment to get it fixed. But when I was trying to make an appointment at the counter I couldn't get an appointment with her for another 3 months to fix it... so I asked the receptionist "is there anything open a little sooner because the pain is pretty intense?" Annoyed, the receptionist walks off in a huff and returns with a prescription for Vicodin. Really? For 3 months? I've never been back.
And the reoccurring symptom thing.... ugh.... Just once I would like to have the symptom that I am actually going to the doctor for. My regular doctor is actually very good about getting patients in but by the time the appointment with the specialist comes around... I am symptom free lol... Sometimes the symptoms never come back and I wonder if the body just heals itself sometimes... If so, maybe I've lucked out.
