Re: psych test--Becky..and questions for you

[Guest guest]

Hi Becky.

I had mine done on Feb. 22. It really only lasted about 1.5 hours.

The sitting, taking a LONG quiz took the most time for me. I was very slow, so

plan on taking a break or two. Tell the doc before you start.

It is one of those tests that ask you the same question in about 5 different

ways. Asks about hearing voices too! (not kidding, I started laughing while

taking it.) It is surely NOT an IQ test.

When the doctor is talking to you, he asks about any drug-alcohol history, and

tries to find out if you have support at home etc.

I told the guy that my family is getting less and less supporting, because I am

financially ruining my family, and what could he say..he is part of that

too..lol

He also asked about your expectations for pain relief etc...I told him I just

simply wanted to be able to take a walk and go shopping without needing a cart

to lean on.(I need a cart EVERY trip, even if it is just to get a pack of

gum..ugh)

Have you gone to the education classes yet? I am scheduled for April 13th for

those.

Also..do you know of any good websites for the stimulator? I can find diagrams

of the stimulator, but no actual PHOTOS of someone with the unit.

I am still also waiting on approval from the insurance company.I have United

healthcare. Did your approval take a long time?

I know someone in this group just recently did this. Please, please can you let

me know how it went?
