Thank you davOD and Mark!
That is very helpful info. I had pulled the terms for conditions from my after-visit summaries but am changing them. I do not have a neuropsych report yet. I had a consultation with a neuropsych last month but he decided to delay testing until August as he felt that testing at this point would most certainly exacerbate all of my symptoms and the cost outweighed the benefit for now. |

I hope the NeuroPsych did at least a MMSE, Mini Mental Status Exam. It takes about 10 minutes. He tells you some words then asks some more questions then asks you about the word he told you.
Your SSDI application will likely be denied. Expect that. Almost all are denied the first time. Then, you re-apply through your State Disability Determination Service (The denial usually come from them) Hopefully, they will request a simplified NeuroPsych Assessment by a contract psychologist. They did with me. My best to you. |

Hi Mark,
No exams. He just interviewed my husband and I about the past 7 months. I just emailed him to see if he will see me before August. (Found out that my health coverage may change after August)

My story in a nutshell: Wife, mother of 4 and new teacher. Have had a few childhood knocks, snowboard falls and 2 major MVAs. Hit top of my head pretty hard on a cabinet door in July, 2014, then our old pantry door broke off its hinge and hit me in the left temple on Sept. 21st, 2014. Maybe my 8th or 9th concussion. Apparently, one knock too many. Currently dealing with most of the "normal" PCS symptoms. I'm trying to heal and get back to a normal life and my teaching job. Things are far too bright and noisy everywhere. I yearn for a good night's sleep. Undergoing cognitive and vestibular therapy. Hopeful for great progress and healing!

they usually they like a baseline? Something they can compare to later(Dr.)....
Your Dr.s office will also have some stuff to fill out also....Make sure they know all the things you suffer from....Use a memory book so you don't forget.. |
