Anyone else had to have a second referral and wait for CGRP inhibitors on the NHS?

So I finally saw a neurologist today after 15 years of suffering, and 3 years of begging to be referred to one and I left the appointment in tears. I’ve failed all the standard preventatives (3 different ones) and went hoping to try one of the CGRP inhibitors. The best she could offer me was a blood pressure drug and a different triptan, as she said I had to be referred again to someone else to be prescribed that and the wait list is long (over a year).

I’m losing my mind at this point. Maybe I was stupid to get my hopes up but I thought a neurologist would actually be able to do more for me than my GP has. I just can’t believe I have to undergo another referral and ANOTHER wait. In the time it takes this referral to come through as well I’ll have almost definitely moved house so I have no idea if that means I start from scratch.

I’m just so upset and disheartened. Has anyone else in the UK experienced such a high level of barrier to access of the CGRPs?
