yes, when i was first referred to someone (a pdoc) she was booked out for 6 months (AND had a waiting list!!). way too long for me to wait, so i went back to my GP who referred me, and got them to call around and find someone who could see me the following week, because i knew i could not cope much longer.

please do try to hunt around. i dont want you to be left without much-needed support for 6 weeks either.
