I was at the ATL center all last week. Like some people here I wish I didn't tell anyone that I was going because everyone now asks me if I'm better and if the treatment has helped.
This was the first time that I've flown since my injury 2.5 years ago, luckily didn't have too many problems with flying over there.
I felt quite good while I was in Atlanta, I think mostly due to being off work and taking it really easy.
After the initial testing they told me that there's not much wrong with me, which on one hand is good obviously, but on the other i was hoping that they would find something.
Did a full week of treatments, and was told that it will probably take a couple of weeks to see results. Also was given some exercises to do at home.
So far after getting back to work I feel about the same as before the treatment, maybe a bit less dizzy while walking.
I'll keep doing the exercises and see if I feel any different in the next couple of months.

March 2013 - Thought that since most of my symptoms resolved I could start having fun again.
Went snowmobiling once (didn't hit my head) and concussion symptoms returned and got even worse than before.
June 2013 - accidentally bumped my head against a deck railing, and had a month-long setback.
November 2013 - drove to work after a big snowstorm and the roads were very rough, ended up having another setback.
2014 - Having setbacks after coughing/sneezing too much, or someone slapping me on the back, or any other significant jarring.
Feb 2014 - Started seeing Atlas Orthogonal chiro - most helpful doc so far.
June 2014 - Two months of physical/visual therapy - no noticeable improvement.
September 2014 - Diagnosed with Perilymph Fistula in right ear.
November 2014 - Fistula surgery (switched to left ear before the surgery after additional testing).
January 2016 - Quit work to "work" on figuring out PCS, so far it seems that eyes/vision issues are the most contributing factor, especially computer work.
Current symptoms are: inconsistent sleep patterns, headaches, vertigo/dizziness, anxiety/panic attacks, mental fog/problems with concentration, problems with computer screens.
