Default Anxiety issues

Yeah, you are right waves. Now that I have upped it I am going to have to stay that way until I talk to him. I just did not know what to do. The seizures are bad and they cause a lot of anxiety. I assume when you guys say p doc you are talking about a psychiatrist? I really need to get myself one of those. The only doctor I have been going to is a pain specialist until recently when I had my first seizure. I went to a neurologist who diagnosed me with post concussive syndrome manifested by cognitive impairment and chronic pain. As well as REM sleep behavior disorder or/and nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy. This neurologist told me to go get Neuropsychological testing to determine my level of disability for the purposes of being approved for disability as well as to direct me tword the right kind of treatment for me. After the report from the neurologist my pain doctor had me go get an MRI of the brain. I have seen the report and it shows problems. So on Monday I have to go to the Neuropsychological testing for the second time and on Thursday I go to my regular doc who is the pain specialist.
Can you guys dig it? I know this is confusing. I have not been able to figure out how to get myself proper help with my brain injury.
