How long did it take you to get into the clinic?

They had a cancellation when I called on a Friday and I was there on Monday. Otherwise I was looking at roughly 4-6 weeks.

Also can you expand on your horizontal nystagmus and any changes you've subjectively noticed?
My nystagmus occurs slightly with gaze but mostly with tracking where my left eye just can't keep up with both eyes skipping and left eye turning outward (wrong way). I only know what they do from the cameras. After a few treatments, my eyes didnt feel "sticky" needing to jump from one object to another. They began to feel smooth in their tracking and it also became much easier on me to complete their exercises; and I've felt much sharper since. As if I'm catching up to the speed of life.

Additionally, can you expand on your vertigo, the causes (is it positional?) And any affects the clinic's therapies may or already have had on you?
Vertigo is a tough one - can't say what biggest triggers are other than no sleep and/or flying. I haven't had vertigo since the 3rd day there. I did have some dizziness one day this week, but it was short lived. Hopefully this continues....


Lastly, have your tolerance/endurance levels improved since you left the clinic?
My endurance was improved as I went from not leaving the house to walking about 1 mile per day. It was easier while down there. Once I got home, all of the stress of 'how am I going to ......" started to creep back in and I need to ward that off so it doesn't interfere with my physical exercise and stamina.

Hope that answers your questions. And please be reminded this is only one person's unique injury, treatment plan, and very preliminary results.
Cautiously optimistic......
