Hi everybody

I was told that the neurological exam would be to exam neuorlogical issues/symptoms/memory. Today I met with the neuro who 'reviews' the questions. The asst. told me that I a) would not be seeing my regular neuro ever again b) then she told me that I would find out the results today. Grrr

Did any of that happen? NO. Instead of the guy reviewing the test results with me he spent 30 minutes of questioning me about the various types of memory loss I had, physical/mental symptoms and other various things that I did not understand why he was questioning me.

Then he interviewed my husband for 5 mintues. It is very obvious according to my husband that I didn't answer some of the most 'important questions' correctly. And that I didn't understand why we were there or what was going on.

The guy asking me questions then told me that in a week or so my 'regular neuro' would go over the results with me. Hmm...... What would all of you think?

DH told me I appear to have Alzhiemers more than anything. I called and told the asst. of this neuro specialist and told her that I obviously answered the memory questions incorrectly.

I'm very depressed, feel completely like an idiot (due to what my DH told me) and extremely guilty.

Is this the type of neuro exam any of you had?

I just want to crawl in a cave like a bear and never come out again.
