Folks with knowledge on the issue:

I have mainly severe vision issues (convergence, tracking) as well as auditory, but the latter is related to the former. Anyway, I went and did the Neuro-Psych test, standard test. I did it for 2 reasons: The Dr asked for it and eventually work would do for disability. I tried my very best on the test, because the last thing I wanted was to be accused of malingering. I was upfront with my work: cognition is almost fine, it is just that vision work, especially close vision, that sets off symptoms like hell. So since there is no objective way to detect symptoms based on vision, trust is very important. They have to trust that I am truthful. The last thing I want is some indication of malingering, god knows how much I want to go back to work!!

So I did the test over 3 days. Because it is mostly writing stuff on paper, which obviously sets off symptoms pretty badly. So I was doing the test under harsh circumstances. But I gave it my best.

The problem: My test results were so bad, that the report suggested the possibility of me exaggerating symptoms (sx). This drove me furious. The Dr added a note saying that based on my sx these results are likely, and are not due to exaggeration on my end.

But this is still problematic. Work will think I am malingering. I am very nervous about this. I am thinking of going to another doctor and doing the test again and pay out of pocket this time. Next time I can push through without consideration of the few weeks of pain that will follow the test if I indeed do converge. Because when I did the first test, I was careful to always take a short break and look away from the paper to minimize major setback (which I had many times in the past when I pushed myself).

Any thoughts would be much appreciated. Any of you got such reports?

Please help
