He did note the report that I am currently on 160 mg of Propranalol for Migraines and I don't sleep well so I am taking Melatonin. My testing was 8:30 am so might have had something to do with it.

The Beta Blocker alone drops BP and makes me sluggish..on top of that I have Anemia and get B12 injections so not real sure how all that effects testing.

Yes, the slow processing has been documented by docs, PT etc, but this doc did not give any suggestions or reasons for the slow processing? But he does think I should "just start driving" again.

Were you feeling your symptoms were average , worse or better when you were tested. I have some better days and some worse days from the middle and hope my testing is on the worse day.

If the doc says you are still having processing speed issues, what are they attributing this too if not the head injury?
