Thanks. The largest impact is memory. Distractions are a real issue and can cause me to forget what I was doing. The reduced processing speed placed me in the 4th percentile. I literally can not process all the information flooding my brain. As a result pieces of it never make it into short term memory. It is common for me to stop mid stride and just sit/stand there while my brain catches up. This is often accompanied by a total loss of what I was doing.

The neuro-psych was paid for by WC so even though my pcp recommended him he is their doctor. I am at present in a no mans land as far as doctors go. The neurologists discharged me. My pcp is acting as the managing dr but WC refuses to accept him. I am perfectly OK with that as it allows me to pursue doctors my pcp/np recommends without having to fight WC.
