Yes I had to go to one of their doctors for an evaluation. It was to be a

neuropsych exam.  The appointment was just a few minutes. However, I

understand that most are much longer. I guess in louisiana neuropsych exams

are differant..lol

I was very disappointed that he did not do much testing but it turns out he

saw things in my favor--so of course I think he is brillant now lol

He noted that the chronic pain, in addition the med needed for this was

causing me a great deal of fatigue, I found out later.  He also noted that my

(pp) mental state was " appropriate. "  

When I got approved, I was so happy. One that I would get the much needed

help, but more importantly I found out my mental state was/is

appropriate...LOL

Th admistrative judge who approved my case without a hearing being needed,

used this is as one reason he approved me the other was clearly on

chiari/syringomyelia--As he quoted from acm/sm articles I sent in for him to

read.

Feel free to contact me if I can help with anything else.

Happy Holidays!!
