Your best chance of being added to the appointments list is for your existing doctors to write referrals. Each doctor can refer you to a different specialty to improve your chances. During the referral process your doctor will inform the Mayo doctor of your diagnosis, history and progress. After that, sit back, relax and pray. I hold you in my prayers also. Try to busy your mind with something so that you do not obsess on your referral. You might read, do crafts, watch movies, journal, meditate, cook, bake, garden or any other thing you enjoy. When it gets really bad for me I designate 10 minutes of uninterrupted time to think about whatever is bothering me. Then I usually want to document and can go on to other things. Blessings.

Very helpful - thanks. And yes, much stress.

This sounds like a lottery. Is it that difficult to be admitted as a patient for appointments? Do they use some Objective standard or how is it determined? Thank you.
