I am not doubting the cognitive impairment with PD......I certainly have difficulty remembering what I read in great detail (I remember the essence of the article). Also spatial difficulties have been an issue for me for many years. That said.....I did have neuro-psych testing done at KUMC about 10 years ago. Two things I remember most about that event: a. testing was done in a day long session.....by afternoon, I was so fatigued, I did not give a care about what answer I gave..........just get out of my face (as the teens would say!). b. side effects from my medications were considered as symptoms of stress/need for attention. (arrhythmias, breathing irregularities, headache, nausea, sweating etc.). I personally felt the testing was not geared to the symptoms/schedules/med on times of a Parkinsons patient.......and the dx seemed to ignore that symptoms/side effects were med related and not psych related.
