Shock discovery WELL i never knew that.

11 years ago•29 Replies

Today as been quite a day had my PiP assessment 2 hours in all.

Time will tell how things go .. but to be fair ATOS HCP was professional and quite humain .. but during my assesment a was telling HCP about my condition and all this chronic lung sepsis and how i was having problems.

Anyway never in my life did a think chronic lung sepsis could affect your brain.

Today i was quite upset as more HUMAIN ATOS HCP did this test given what i had been saying to them about my condition.

Cognitive subtraction and finger ability test.

A was surprised shocked when i failed test .. like how can you forget to do basic subtractions. but i did and just could not do it

Its was quite a shock to find chronic lung sepsis as left me with problems like that A Know a was ill but its still a shock.

At least ATOS HCP did the test its just a shame my old GP could not of been that intrested before i was ill.

Am just very surprised at how effective such a basic test can be at judgeing forms of mental inparment due to infections and chronic lung diease

Don't be upset - it certainly hasn't affected your intelligence, ability to investigate complex details and other capabilities. I think you're brilliant.

Anyway, who needs to use subtraction - calculators are cheap!!

Sounds like it was a good assessment so keep your chin up and smile.

Not a really, real doc? My, oh, my. Whatever next! Glad you got it over with Daz and like others have said, you are obviously a man of intelligence and wit. Power to the people.

onamission• in reply to11 years ago

Daz you have what it takes keep on the case don't let them get away with anything and good luck mate,x

peege11 years ago

Yeah, I can see why you were shocked Daz, must have sent you reeling for a bit.

I'd better read the link to find out what it's all about.

I think something's happened to the language part of my brain. Noticing it more & more lately and really, to be perfectly honest don't think I have serious lung issues so I can't blame that.

It seriously upsetting when you find something's missing.

Good luck with you claim Daz
