I had neuropsych testing a couple weeks ago.
The good: I don’t appear to have brain damage.
The bad: after five hours of testing, I could barely walk.
The ugly: the evaluation blames my physical symptoms of long covid — fatigue, lack of energy, difficulty breathing, numbness in my feet — on depression and anxiety.
And people of color have it worse. Way worse.
I didn’t really think I could be more frustrated and more livid, but here I am.
