Neuropsych Results

I am fine! Yes, I passed the tests with flying colors--the tests I have given to people numerous times. Amazing that I could score "way above average" on a test I practically memorized years before I had MS.

So that means I am fine, hm? Forgetting conversations that happened moments before... expected for a young person, I guess. Oh, and having "what was I about to do?" moments 100 times in a day (then be normal the next day or a few weeks later). Saying the wrong words for what I mean. At least now I know that this is all normal. Just because none of it happened until the last nine months is not a big deal. I am probably just tired.

The neuropsychologist did admit that having given all of the tests in the past might have influenced my scores. You think? Besides the fact that I am brilliant, which she does not know. She thinks she has a baseline now. I have slipped from astoundingly brilliant to amazingly brilliant; this is not my baseline.

Today I had a stabbing pain in my upper right back, between my shoulder blades.

Later I had a moment of stress incontinence. That has not happened in at least a month. Darn.
