Thank you for responding.
What specific symptoms are you struggling with now?

Debilitating headaches, Fatigue, Nausea, Weakness, Cognitively... It is hard to say. I know that I have some cognitive impairment as far as concentration, will still mix up words when I am tired, irritability. Generally can't handle stimulation. But I have never been tested for impairments. I know that I could not handle taking a class or being in a high pressure critical thinking job. Even typing these posts makes me weak.But, people who do not know me personally wold say that I act normal.

What are your current capabilities and limitations?
Activities of Daily Living (ADL's) and work capabilities? I can perform my own ADL's but grocery shopping is still exhausting and occasionally need cooking assistance. I have to stay at home most of the time. Can't walk longer than 40 minutes without having to lie down (on a good day). Constant headaches. Can only drive around my small town for about 30 min.Occasional outing which have gotten more frequent. I am unable to work because of these limitations.

What do you hope to achieve from the NPA? Not sure... thought I'd ask so people could tell me. If there is nothing you think that they could do then I understand.

I read a previous post where the author did see a NP and benefitted from the exercises given.

I have gotten better over the 2 year period I was just wondering wether I could get any more help. I am not 100% sure but I think that the visits would be covered.

Bottom line: Is there any type of specialist that I can see?
