You should try to get to see a neuropsychologist; I had to get a lawyer to get into one. I'm going in for an evaluation at the end of this month that is expected to take 6 hours. My neuro? 15 minutes. And half the symptoms I complain to him about are not really symptoms according to him. he's a putz.

Nope, I didn't get hurt on the job.
I was a victim of a random assault.
I don't have insurance to pay for a neuropsychologist. I have something called Victims of Crime, but the funds are limited...and they are going to want a neuropsychological exam (not sure if that's what it is called)...Those are really expensive. It would probably wipe me out of my VOC fund and leave me with nothing for the rest of my recovery.
Question for anyone who has had a neuropsych exam...what is the purpose of it? What do they do after they find out what areas your struggling in? I don't think I want someone to tell me how badly I'm messed up...and not do anything to help me with it, you know? LOL. I heard the test is pretty extreme...it would probably leave me in bed for 2 weeks after. Not worth my time, money or effort.
