Dear CrankyYankee, you are singing my song! I have a son who is in the neurology equipment sales field. He urges me and my husband to travel to bigger cities for bigger and better care…yet, from what I read, the new meds can only do so much, and for a very short period of time.
We too have had 2 2-hour sessions with a neuropsychologist. I was invited to leave for most of it, so I can’t say first-hand, but my husband was rather insulted by it and considered it a waste of time. Sessions were 2 years apart, and the 2nd one showed “very little change”. Hah! NOT TRUE in real life. It is my humble opinion that whatever is on those tests may need some revamping, as what I see is a lot of change! Best wishes…I’ll try to keep my mind open as I read the comments from others who may be more knowledgeable than I. But I agree with you.
