I've been seeing a highly qualified therapist for VRT. I just recently cut out all processed food to see if that would help at all. I've been doing moderate cardio 3 times a week for months and have tried to continue my life and expose myself to things that worsen my symptoms to expedite habituation. I take fish oil, multi-vitamin, Q10, Vitamin B, and magnesium.

I am frustrated by the lack of progress even though I have put in a lot of effort into my recovery. That is why I was hoping to hear if other people had recovered from a similar situation that I'm at now.
I'm sorry to hear that you are trying so much with little improvement. But i wiuld say keep doing what you do. Its your best chance for it to get better.

I have seen brain dizziness in patients with brain hemmorage and severe tbi. It doesnt completely go away but it does get better over the years. I'm always skeptical about timelines. Its true that after some time there is theoratically less chance for it to go away but i have seen people get better. after years. So dont give up.
