I finally went for that cognitive evaluation (that takes hours!) that my MS doctor has been bugging me to take. I know it is different for everyone, but I really wanted to do it in just one visit. I guess some people can only take so much of the test before they max out. They have to come back another day to finish. I just wanted to do it and get it done.

It ended up taking five hours for me. Parts of the test were kind of fun. Other parts are really frustrating, but the doctor (Neuro Psyciatrist, no less) who gave me the test was very sweet and supportive. She sat across the table from me for the whole test, and explained each test section patiently. She read me all the questions and made note of my answers. All I had to do was sit there and follow her instructions and answer what questions I could. It’ll be a few weeks before I get any results. I’ll let you all know when I know more.

Anybody else take these tests? Did you learn anything interesting as a result?
