JulieRN,

You should feel accomplished that you were so symptomatic during the tests. This will be used by the WC people. They need to hear the story at its worst.

Yes, it is hard to realize your dysfunctions. But, now you can move forward knowing what they are specifically (when you get the report). You can also seek to learn any work-arounds and other accommodations to better deal with them.

As the doctor (MD ?, NeuroPsychs are usually Ph.D.'s) said, it is a good thing. Think of it like a patient you are caring for. If they only exhibit a symptom when nobody is there to observe, it will limit your ability to treat that symptom.

You need to put things in perspective and context. You have had these problems for a year and a half. A NeuroPsych Assessment is not going to cure them. It just identifies them. You need this accurate identification.

A bad day would be having a miraculous high level of function during the test and getting labeled a malingerer (faker). I had a high level of performance on just one test with very poor functions on all the other tests. That one test with high scores was used to deny my Work Comp claim.

Time to celebrate and rest up.

btw, He is likely going to contact your fiance to get some confirmation of behaviors that he noticed but may have had inadequate data to confirm. He should not be talking to your fiance' about your results. Privacy issues. That should be reserved for a meeting with the three of you.

So, keep your chin up and move ahead.

My best to you.
