I finally got through to my neurologist office. Apparently, they called to cancel my appt back in May. When checking the number they had on file, it was wrong, so I never got the message.

I told them about how the answering service apparently had no idea he was going to be out - and that I ended up in his parking lot anyway - etc. etc. etc.

Next available appt.....SEPTEMBER 10th.....OMG, I can't stand to be in this pain for that long. I asked if he would prescribe some steroids to help me in the interim (as suggested by my friend who has suffered with similar issues), so I am waiting to hear back.

For now, I'm just bawling my eyes out.....Nobody's fault, once again, but I feel totally screwed...once again.
