Mark, if a Dr told me I was making all this up for a lawsuit I think I'd go crazy right there in front of him!!! what an ***.
As Hockey and Mark suggest, try your local brain injury assoc. for a referral to a neuro-psychologist, for God sakes they are the ones who would understand.
Should you bother? yes, absolutely, keep on going, you deserve to feel better and to know what's going on.
I get so down from all this and the awful Dr's and their dumb sayings but tomorrow is another day, that's how I try to think and never, ever give up.
Someone out there is the right Dr for you.
You, Mark and Hockey have been through years of this, me....only since early last year and that's been bad enough but it's been a long time for you guys.
