I had min done on Wednesday this week Starr... It was pretty long, about 4.5 hours. I don't have any psych problems though (mood or depression issues) so it was shorter since they didn't have to do those tests.

I was ridiculously tired afterwards... I slept the entire way home (1.5 hour drive), and was thankful for the transportation provided by my insurance.

There were parts of the test I did just fine on. Mainly reading words, remembering names, following directions (for the most part). There were other tests I didn't do as well at. Adding numbers while crossing off all the A's in the line (killed me because I used to be top of my class in engineering calculus). Image remembrance (test one was horrible, test two marginally better). And the abstract shape remembrance test was the absolute worst. Maybe because it was last and I was exhausted. I don't know....

I was told that there are treatments that haven't been given, for headaches, for concentration... I am praying I finally get the treatment I need... and you too Starr! I was wondering how you were doing, and praying that you wree a lot better, and sad to hear you are not....

When resting, symptoms are low. With exertion, I still suffer from fatigue, migraines, vision problems, problems thinking or reading, troubles sleeping, issues finding or getting words to my mouth when the headaches are bad, tinnitus, and thyroid issues which I think are due to the concussion. Seen one specialist, and now a few others through insurance review of my case. Hoping for further treatment.
