Hi Mark,
I am doing OK, just had my neuropsych evaluation which I have been trying to get for YEARS, was authorized 2 years ago by Work Comp and was just a bear getting a provider and getting scheduled.

Interestingly, the extensive testing (9 hours in 3 sections, 2 back to back on separate days) has left me feeling really dizzy, nauseated, confused, sleepy and headachey. I hope my memory deficits show up on the tests, and I can get further assistance with that.

I have been back at work full time for over three years, but they put me in really difficult jobs which have been very taxing. Because you have to be certified as able to be full duty, I just kinda had to put up with it - took a lot of sick days as needed when too much mental taxing went on.

Sigh.

And so goes the recovery.

I am reading all your posts again about vitamins - have been off meds since end of March but been anxious and now becoming depressed. I hope the vitamin support will help to keep me off medication.

Physical therapy was the key to eliminating for a time the headaches, did traction and a bunch of stuff. I have to remember to exercise and stretch.

Thanks for asking; I appreciate your posts. Take care!
