Well, now I'm 6 weeks in and have not improved at all. I've put my lifelong dream of living/skiing in Jackson on hold while I get better in Denver. This is maddening!

I'm still dizzy/foggy/anxious and just don't feel like "myself". At times I feel one step away from the old me and other times I feel like reality is "escaping me" . It's weird to say the least.

MRI came back perfect, so did my CT scan

Doc perscribed Xanax, which actually helped but I'm scared of dependency issues. After talking to him more, he switched me to Ativan, but I haven't even filled the perscription (although I'm thinking of doing it right now!) and stopped taking Xanax two days ago (even though I was only taking .5mg/day)

I have been in the gym 5-7x per week doing light aerobic work/light lifting. I've always been VERY active (pro mtn bike racer/competive skier) so if I sit around I feel even less like myself.

I have started vestibular therapy today. I'm hopeful this helps with the dizziness/loss of orientation (the worst/main symptom) If I can rid myself of this feeling, I'll be doing well.

I've had some message work done but not much craniosacral work done. My message therapist knows some, but by no means was it enough to call it "sufficient".

I'm thinking of acupuncture and craniosacral work starting next week.

Thoughts on the anxiety medication?
