Hi JulieRN, I'm sorry to hear you are having such a terrible time. I think you should see your doctor to be safe and thorough.

Although I have not had the exact symptoms you are having, I am just coming out of a terrible type of regression of symptoms (2+ weeks). My injury was over 2 years ago and these symptoms were as bad, if not worse than ever. I was quite devistated as I had been doing well for a few days.

I think stress is a very strong trigger on top of what you are trying to accomplish in a day. I was trying to go back to work (very part time) and was giving it 100% - probably like you were on your neurophsyc tests... and - it was too much and - CRASH. The good news is that this might be the perfect time for your tests as it will help them analyze the issues.

I hope you are able to get to your appointment safe and sound. Please let us know how you made out.
