Hi Sitke,
The differences between a Neurologist and a Neuropsychologist are a Neurologist is usually a medical doctor or osteopathic doctor who specializes in disorders of the nervous system, including the brain, and a Neuropsychologist is usually a PhD (doctorate degree) who is a psychologist who specializes in brain behavior and functions.
My Neuropsychologist gave me a specialized test which showed the specific areas of my problems after the injury, like slow processing and graphomotor ataxia. My Neurologist diagnosed PCS and ordered EEG's.
I am so sorry to hear about your episode over the weekend. I haven't experienced anything like what you described, but it sounds scary. I do still experience these episodes, but they don not seem as severe as the ones I had during Neuro Rehab.
I will update you on my status. It does not matter what they are coming from ( brain or psychogenic or other) just so long as they can get them to stop. I am just as intrigued as you. Please get some rest.
Take care, M-i-m
