David - You've heard from the experts, so now you know what a neuropsychologist does. I'd agree with the others and tell you to see a movement disorder specialist asap. However, there's nothing wrong with seeing a neuropsychologist, too. He can test your cognitive function (memory, etc.), and your score on the test will constitute a baseline against which he can measure your cognitive status later on, if you feel that your memory problems worsen. Dick sees a neuropsychologist about once a year as a follow-up to his bilateral DBS surgeries 4-1/2 years ago. I'm glad to know there's a continuing record of how his cognitive function tests. If there's a problem down the road, we'll be able to consult with the neuropsychologist about it. Margie
