Default Abnormal eng

I recently had an eng test requested by the IME who was an ENT DO(eieio)
The test came abnormal, wich I figured it would because I basically had no
response to the caloric tests, and the nurse case manager told me when I called
her to find out if it was sent to the TBI center( something tells me that was a no no) I also had an IME with a nuerogist, second IME with him, when he checked my reflexes at the knee neither one of my legs jumped or kicked, I'm starting to get alot more concerned now. Should I be? Just trying to get that worried feeling off my back. Thanks NT.

This is good news and bad news.

The good news is the IME can not deny the positive results. It should be good for your claim.

The bad news is it says that you have a brain injury, DUH....

At least you know you are not imagining your symptoms. It is all in your head but not just 'in your head.' Most of us get negative results and the doctors and IME's tell us we are OK.

Count your blessings.

My best to you.
