Hello @Becksbuddy ... hope things are moving along with your quest for a diagnosis. I just wanted to mention, in case you don’t know, that a Neuropsychologist is not a medical doctor (M.D.) degree. He/she is at the doctorate level and as such, can make diagnoses. They typically are the ones who administer psychological tests as their degree means they have expertise in this area. Blessings.

Does our PCP need to write a script so my husband can be evaluated by a neuropsychologist?

@karen285 Thank you for being concerned about my getting a diagnosis. I do have a diagnosis. It’s chronic lymphocytic inflammation with pontine perivascular enhancement responsive to steroids. Mouthful! It means i had lesions on my brain that affected almost everything. After 6 years and a few more problems thrown into the mix, I’m working on getting better!
