Hello Avlady: I don't know specifically what there is available for testing regarding head injury symptoms & senility or Alzheimers Disease. I presume there is some. Actually, I have a long history of head injury (I shan't go into details here.) I asked my pdoc a while back about exactly this type of testing. He gave me the name of a psychologist who he said does this kind of testing. However, I never contacted her. But I take from this that it would be possible to get it. The person whose name my pdoc gave me was at our local university medical center. I would presume that this is the type of place one would have to go to find such testing.

I do know what you mean about questioning whether or not you want to know the answer. This is essentially why I never did contact the psychologist my pdoc recommended. It just seemed, in the end, like what's the point? It's not likely to make any difference in my day-to-day treatment now & maybe I'd just as soon not know what might lie ahead!
