glad you found NT & this group but sorry for the reasons that brought you here.
"How LONG... Recovery" frequently asked but don't think anyone (DRs, otherz) can answer....
it's a process...... as unique as each --brain, body, mind & soul
of those who've come here sharing various experiences & insights.... the good & not so... our similarities & differences...
for me, it's become a long journey ....
12 yrs ago I was hit by car--TBI & other injuries. several concussions & "mild" head injurys, after mostly from falls.
Last year I was struck in head by hydrualic lift; this accident set off problems Dx'd : PCS. been up & down since, w/ more downs....
I 've had vision problems similar to what you describe (comes & goes)
Persistant severe Headaches w/ nausea & vomiting .
Photo & phonoPhobia & other sensitivitys
I also don't sleep -- after 1 or 2 hours wake- Fatigued, in pain, irritable, angry & other emotional and many cogntive dysfunctions ...
and more... too much more....
Many "alternatives" have been discussed -- therapys like PT; NeuroFeedback chiropractic, "self help" techniques & other options
others may share more ....
I'll update on some things I am & will be trying...
If you can remain Positive...(many will tell you that's most important) .... it's very challenging
after years of chronic pain, neuro & other med problems, dysfunctions, Losses and more..
I've sunk into a low place, I wish I could Be & do many things "old self" did; I could wish List all things miss but all my wishing, hoping & grieiving hasn't changed what is NOW... perhaps more "work" and accessing better interventions & alternatives will enable better quality Life, even if It can't or won't be as before....
Yes, it is very frustrating ... and more that I can't find words for... I'm having problems trying to write, reply, stay on track.... and relevant...
I too had a DR --"brain injury specialist" --tell me "can't help you" .... after I didn't respond in a month to few meds he prescribed. I hoped for more from him--other therapys, interventions. I'm still seeking better ways to get relief & improvements.
Hope you find what you need....
