I completely understand Starr... I was so thankful I had arranged for a driver with my insurance that day, as I couldn't even keep my eyes open all the way home. Once home I sat in a stupor for the rest of the evening, and was incapable of much more than a nod...
Mine lasted about 4.5 hours, although I got a half hour break in the middle. I don't have any signs/symptoms of depression so that shortened it a fair bit. Certain things I did horribly at... Like crossing out all the a's in a line of letters and numbers, while adding the numbers at the same time. Remembering images I had seen was another place I did very poorly, and there were times I found myself in tears, out of frustration, since I used to be really smart... Hopefully this will get you what you need... treatment and help... That's what I hope for too...

Feb 24, 2012 - Slipped on a large puddle of ice at work, hitting the back of my head. No loss of consciousness, so I assumed I'd be back at work within a few days. I was wrong. 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. |

I did get a 45 min break in the middle... we did 2.5 hours of testing, then the lunch break, then another 2.5 hours of testing.
There was no depression screening on mine either. I didn't cry DURING the testing... but afterwards, I was just so tired... I just couldn't cope... even this morning things are rough... and its like the worst hangover ever. And I'm not sure HOW I managed to not think this through, but I booked my truck in to get serviced this morning WHILE I WAIT, so I have to leave in a few minutes and sit and wait while my winter tires get changes, the oil gets changed and a few other maintenance things... in the noisy horrible waiting area at the mechanics... the day after my NPA. Clearly my ability to plan ahead is impaired. ARGH!! MUST remember ear plugs. Apparently the results should be available in about 2 weeks. Hopefully none of the results will be surprising or trigger any investigation into my ability to drive or anything. I don't want to have to regret having done this. Starr |
