After almost 2yrs I finally got my appeal hearing and instead of a decision the judge wants a neurology and a neuropsychology evaluation. My attny says this is not that unusual, but I'm so disappointed.
Has anyone had these evaluations and what are they looking at? I have alot of fog with speech problems (dropping words, losing train of thought).
I'm trying to stay hopeful, but I've cried for 2 days. I feel like I said something wrong at the hearing (I felt like a deer in the headlights, it seemed the judge and my attny were talking Greek over my head.. a far drop from a 20yr nurse w/ previously excellent verbal skills)

Just one thought--if you have a choice of drs, maybe it would be a good idea to ask the dr before you make any appts. if they recognize, diagnose or treat FMS. I still fear there are some drs. not up to date with these conditions.
