Just thought I'd post a little update.

I got a letter from the hospital/neurology department which was also sent to my GP, basically saying 'oh your patient doesn't need to see us, she needs cognitive assessment, you need to re-refer her to this department'.

The original referral was made in August and after talking to people on here, I went back to my GP and said 'I think you're referring me to the wrong person, I need cognitive assessment'. He basically patted my hand and told me it was fine.
2 months later, oh look, I need to be re-referred!!!!

What a waste of 2 months.

Anyway, it looks like I'm on the right track now, just waiting for the letter for the re-referral and hoping I can get an appointment soon.
I spoke to the hospital appointment team and it seems the wait might be as short as 6 weeks, so I may well get seen sooner rather than later.

I applied to be a volunteer and have been going to training once a week for the last month, I should be starting soon.

Other than that, not a lot has changed.
Big sleep problems which are making my cognitive deficits worse, other than that I'm still just plodding along and waiting to be seen!

On the upside, the anti-depressants have made a big difference and I feel more stable now
