Hi Jeni,

I don’t know how the clinic you go to does it’s testing, but mine limited my visits to an hour and a half, and then to 50 minutes, once I was diagnosed.

Testing for me took several visits. She asked my wife a lot of questions, had us both fill out questionnaires. Had us mail questionnaires to my brother and sisters, and my mom. I took computer tests, cognitive tests, all sorts of memory tests and reaction-time tests. There may have been some tests she ran on me as a means of distraction. I am pretty quick, and I figure things out and start loosing interest.

It sounds like you have lots of notes, and if you can organize them into 4-5 things you want to cover and a few questions you want answered, it will help you focus on the important stuff to you.

Bring an advocate. Someone who can observe and chime in, when you back off. It is a very intrusive process, but so WORTH IT!
