Well, today I went for my appointment with the SSD doctor. It was quite interesting. He asked me a lot of questions and then had me do a lot of range of motion tests. He asked me to stand on my toes (which I couldn't without holding onto him). He asked me to stand on my heels(which I couldn't without holding on). He asked me to walk the straight line heel to toe(I took three steps and fell(thankfully my husband caught me.)
My reflexes to the vibrating thing were decreased in my ankles that I know of. It was really quite embarrasing because I could hardly do anything that he asked me to do.
He asked me if I had a Neuro/Psych evaluation and I said yes. He said make sure you don't miss it.
So, that was that. He was really nice though and didn't make me feel like I was making it all up (which some doctors do).
I felt all in all, it went well.
