Yes, definitely. The past 3 summers my symptoms were 60-70% reduced. Last summer I was playing light tennis, walking, biking, etc. with mild symptoms most of the time. Winter rolls around I the dizziness, faintness, lightheadedness come back with a vengeance tenfold.

On a side note, I had a light upper back/neck massage 2 days ago and my symptoms are at least 25% reduced. I had put off massage for around 3 months and it does make a noticeable difference in my symptoms. I will keep going every 2 weeks for maintenance, as this had previously worked quite well for me.

The dental visit was not good yesterday. Tons of flooding and felt on the verge of passing out after 3 injections of local anesthesia. Very glad that's done.

May 2013 - Motorcycle accident. Hit head falling off motorcycle at 80-100km/h after hitting a median and knocked unconscious. Taken to hospital via ambulance. Partial loss of vision on the way. Cleared of any internal injuries at via CT and released.

May 2013 - Early morning upon arriving back from hospital, I started uncontrollably shaking (not a seizure), more so shock related. Paramedics to home and back to hospital. Cleared again and sent home.

August 2013 - Feeling normal and 100% better, I started to engage in normal activities, including full time work with no symptoms. I fell unconscious in my home, striking my head and waking up in a pool of blood and vomiting profusely. Noticeable trauma to face and nose upon waking up. Very nauseous and taken back to hospital. Cleared of any 'visible' injuries aside from superficial. Nausea and light sensitivity were very noticeable, to the point where I could not view a computer, or even TV. Approx. 4 weeks after the fall, I started to experience daily and extreme symptoms of dizziness, faintness, lightheadedness, nausea, tinnitus, neck stiffness/pain that has been present ever since. Some days are better, others very bad.

Tests include:
  • CT x 2
  • MRI x 2
  • Neck x-ray
  • Vestibular assessment (noticed a very slight left eye nystagmus.
  • Physio for neck, jaw shoulders for 1.5 years (stopped in 2015)
  • Heart holter monitor (24 hour)
  • ECG
  • Vision test

All tests yield no results and left with PCS diagnosis.
