Susan,
We shouldn't have to con anyone to get help. WE ARE ILL and should be taken serious.
I agree with John about going in a "demanding" to see the neuro.
One thing my doc did to speed things up - he put me in the hosp. and called the neuro in for a consult. Bingo, got to see the neuro immediately and was a patient afterwards - no wait. Since then when I say Cluster - I get in or he calls me (usually when I call, I'm not ABLE to go in). The Big thing is to get HELP and to get it NOW!
Leave your MIL out of this. GO talk to your PCP and TELL him what you have to have done. There's no reason to suffer till OCt when help is available.
Hugs BD
