He makes me close my eyes and try to touch my nose. But that's just during a routine visit. I've never had a specific appointment for this kind of testing.
It would be nice to know how I'm cognitively doing. Some days I can really tell that I'm struggling. Others I feel relatively normal (whatever that is).
I think you and Trisha are the only two I've read about having specific neuro-psych testing. I'm wondering if I should have it done? It'll have to wait till I'm on Medicare, though.

My 1st test was done at the request of SSA for SSDI. According to them, some of the tests done at my neuro's office as part of a study were too old (only by a few months

lol). At that time, I did poorly on many of the tests. Over time, I noticed things improving and the neuro wanted to do a follow up testing to see where I am at right now. Otherwise, I don't think I ever would have had the testing done.
