Neuropsychological Testing

I had neuropsychological testing. It was brief and conducted by an underling. I wonder if it got at my issues--I did not feel like it did. It felt like screening rather than testing. I should have the results in a couple of weeks.

And it has been a rather painful day. Even my shot hurt.

Sensory:
-Pins and needles: 0
-Tingles: 1
-Dysesthetic pain: 6, the usual areas, especially the front of my thighs. The skin, not deep.
-Paresthesias: 1
-Numbness: 3
-Vision: 0-1
-Nerve pain: 6 
-Hearing: 1

Motor:
-Walking: 2
-Sore muscles: 3
-Spasticity: 2
-Weak muscles: 4
-Endurance: 5
-Fine motor: 2

Cognitive:
-Processing: 2
-Memory: 0, figures--on a day when I am being evaluated
-Attention: 0
-Confusion: 0

General:
-Fatigue: 4
-Balance: 0
-Vertigo: 0
-Sleep: 2
-Bladder: 1
-Proprioception: 1
-Swallowing: 1
-A: 0
-B: 0

Emotions: Nervous about the neuropsych visit, until I realized that some flunky was giving the tests. Then I was fine. I did get a little anxious later, worried that my issues would not be noted. I sometimes struggle with dysfluency from word-finding issues, and I regularly get frustrated with my memory.
