Mayballs,

Welcome to NueroTalk.

TIS gave you good advice about a Neuro Ophthalmologist but many get good result seeing a Behavioral Optometrist. NORA has a referral web site. Health Care Locator Custom It may be easier to get an appointment with a Behavioral Optometrist than a Neuro Ophthalmologist.

The concept of pushing with multitasking and exerting oneself is controversial and not part of the latest understandings. Multitasking is stressful for even healthy brains. It should be avoided. You need to allow your brain to rest and give it time to process tasks slower than before.

A large part of balance is visual based. Until your visual issues are resolved, the vestibular therapy may be just stressful.

Read the Vitamins sticky at the top. You should add the B-12 and B-50 Complex at a minimum.

Good quality sleep is very important. Quality means deep restful sleep. If you wake up groggy, you may need to figure out why you are not getting good sleep. The magnesium an hour before bed will be good.

Upper neck injuries can play a big part in PCS symptoms. Imaging rarely shows these subtle neck injuries. It is usually an issue of sleeping and napping with good head and neck posture. Sometimes, a NUCCA chiro or gentle physical therapist can help the upper neck settle down. Avoid pushing for range of motion with the head until other upper neck issues are settled. Gentle traction and mobilization can help sometimes.

btw, With your prior concussions, you recovered from the obvious symptoms but that was not healing. There is always some residual injury after a concussion. You may have reached the threshold of Multiple Impact Syndrome where the brain's recovery reserve is used up and some symptoms may be very prolonged. In that case, the goal is to learn to moderate stimulation and stress so the roller coaster ride levels out somewhat.

My best to you.
