Thanks Mark
I did have a neuropsych eval. in April. He could not pinpoint a specific area or areas I am having trouble with. He said I scored high-average to average on everything and said I am "very intelligent." He said I did score a bit low on visual memory, but nothing too significant. I thought this was going to hurt me, but in his report, he confirmed the diagnosis of PCS, confirmed that I still have struggles, blatantly stated that I am not malingering, and basically said that my fatigue, dizziness and other symptoms were affecting my abilities. I do agree with all of this except that I still feel "slower" and a lot less "clear" than normal. Like things just aren't functioning right. And I tire very easily. I am 33 and feel like I have the physical and cognitive energy of a 70 or 80 year old. So I guess I am just wondering where all this leaves me and what else might help my case?
