I'm sorry the doctor was so dismissive. I know that there is a definite bias against women's complaints in healthcare, and an underlying assumption that it's all in your head. It's bad that you had to experience that today.
Can you make the appointment with your regular provider now, even though it's several weeks out, just so you are on the books? You might also ask them to call you if there is a cancelation...
I think that tracking food and drink and activity is a good idea, and will be useful for seeing patterns. And, you will have some data to share with your regular provider when your appointment does roll around.
Hoping you will rest well tonight.
