I had 2 neuro psych testings after my concussion. The first one about a year after the fall and the 2nd one last year. The testing is not difficult, but tiring. From what I understand, it shows your weakness and strengths Intellectually and if there is damage. I had a concussion in 2005 and sadly, my damage is permanent. I've been diagnosed with mild traumatic brain damage.

Good luck on the testing.

If you are feeling a bit 'blue' depressed, tell your doctor and of course keep your doctor informed of headaches, the aches/pains and how you are tired and anything else that is different with you now.

I found out that doctors really can not read my mind *smiles*. You have to talk with them about your issues and make them take the time to 'hear' you. Take someone with you to your appointments that can help 'bridge' the discussion. Someone that understands you before and you now. I found that helps too.
