About Me

My photo
I'm in my 30's, which to me sounds very odd. I only feel like I'm in my 20's and definitely not a grown up. I have spent the last 7 years battling with my health; firstly spending 2 years getting a diagnosis for a tumour on my pituitary gland which was causing Cushings Disease; then spending the rest of my life dealing with a pituitary gland that doesn't work. However, I have a fantastic family and an amazing boyfriend who I live with and adore - they keep me going and inspire me to try to make the most of life and my life in general.

1st Neuropsychologist appointment!

So I wasn't sure what this was going to entail. Here is a link that explains what neuropsychology is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuropsychology

It was quite interesting, we started with a chat about my medical history and then I was asked to do some tests, it was kind of weird it reminded me of the psychology tests you see on TV... I was shown a picture which I was asked to copy exactly and was timed doing it. This was followed by listening to 2 stories which the psychologist read out to me and I had to repeat back what details I could remember. There were other tests and I will get a report back. It will be interesting to see if there is any particular damage to my brain. It was good and it made me feel positive but then I had a bad evening with Boyf. and it went full circle. Today I feel totally drained - its like the stress of the evening before has completely zapped me. Its all sorted out now but physically I feel pants.
