thanks for sharing...did it say how many sessions brought about the significant improvement? and how significant?

This study found significant improvement in all sorts of measures after treatment, and no significant improvement after their control.
The review article says this is a promising start, but it's still not a true blind clinical trial. I'm also wondering how sustainable or lasting any improvements are after the treatment. If it provides a temporary boost, great, but not really worth the money. If the treatment actually leads to lasting healing, then it might be worth it.
I'll have to do more research later, too much screen time!

Those remaining are fatigue, brain freezes/overstimulation, headaches, sensitivity to light and sound. Insomnia is getting better but still an issue, and appetite is ba-ack! Depression and anxiety are largely under control thanks to Lexapro, exercise, and a very distant light at the end of the tunnel.
Drugs: Lexapro, occasional 2-5mgs ambien. Off amatryptaline. Taking about 453 supplements.
Just started vision therapy, waiting on some blue-tinted prism glasses.
