Hi, I was referred to Neurology at the start of the year due to constant headaches and weakness in my left arm and leg. I found out 3 weeks later that the hospital mucked up the referral and it hadn't actually been sent! Only found out as I phoned to find out how long the wait would be. I've now been given a phone appointment for March! I thought a first appointment would include a physical check-up so I'm concerned about the time it's going to take to get any scans or anything. Considering going private but my GP said they have lengthy timescales too. My anxiety is now high - just came on here to vent really. Terrified I have a tumour or something and worried about all this time passing. Meanwhile my symptoms are worsening.
