Well, I didn't have anyone else present, so she couldn't pull people in while I was there. Besides, the woman before me arrived 45 minutes late for her appointment and there was a bit of a rush as a result. I think the psych. had a lunch date or something. At least, unlike the doctor the SS people sent me to months ago, this woman knew what fibromyalgia is. She was skeptical at first that I'd actually developed all those symptoms before I'd ever heard of the disease, but she did know what the common symptoms are and why they pose problems. She does think I should get a neuropsychological evaluation done somewhere to find out if my cognitive symptoms really do fit an ADHD diagnosis or not, if for no other reason than that those results would be good to have on hand to show to Social Security.
I won't tell you the date, that is part of my test. You just gave the wrong answer.
/me snickers in rememberance of similar occurrences
I'll give you three words: Door, green, Chicago. Remember them and say them back to me
*chortle* hahaha, i forgot that little trick!!
On a scale of one to ten
/rolls my eyes i always HATED that. irritating doctors. i always wanted to yell at them: I JUST FUCKING HURT YOU STUPID FUCKHEAD!!! but i never had the energy to.
ahh, nostalgia walking (heh. suddenly in my head pops "dead man walking". *giggle* *snort* why yes, i'm feeling fine, why do you ask? ;) )
I think you tend to minimize your depression. You're in more pain than you say you are.
Yeah, the scale of 1 to 10 is just ridiculous. Telling her or anyone else, "My right hip is a 6, the rest of me is 3 or 4, but there are days when I'm better and days when I'm worse" is just so arbitrary. I hurt enough that the pain keeps me from doing what I want and no I really can't sit still on this damn couch of yours--is that really so hard to understand?
Heh. Glad you thought it was brilliantly written.
No idea when I'll hear from the Social Security Administration. They may have me jump through more hoops before they decide anything, for all I know. Grfle.
Maybe that's why I've been resisting Anois' Shower Meme--I knew that I'd have enough interview questions to deal with this week. Well, now I don't feel so bad about the lack of showering in my LJ.
