Thank you for sharing. I personally remember this myself. To have appointments either early morning and a long way from my home.
Have you had a look on our posts and threads on . Might interest you. Dealing with chronic pain. Also talking about specific conditions.

Did I get this right? That you've been waiting 18 months for a pain clinic appointment, and that not only have they finally come through with an appointment that is still some three months away but they've given it to you at a ridiculously early time? The mind boggles.
If the source of the letter is a hospital, you could try ringing them and explaining about the problems you would have attending. The NHS still manages to be helpful at times.
Don't hesitate to be in touch with us about anything.
Warmest best wishes,
