You did spent some money. I already spent around $20,000 and seems like there is no end to it. Insurance doesn't cover most of these therapies.

I did the Vision therapy for 2 months (morning and evening - 30 mins) and I am not going to do again. Didn't get any benefit out of it.

My hand was going numb when I sleep on my back and more than that my right leg gets very painful when I am in that position. Pain happens only when I stretch my legs and not when I sit or stand. Some nights I woke with excruciating pain in buttock and right weighs like ton. I have to use my hand to lift the leg since I cannot move voluntarily because of excruciating pain. Been going on for 1 year now and I ignore it since I have bigger issues than that .

Dizziness, Facial Pain, Fatigue etc., is the one I have to fix it now. I wish I can get the prism lenses from the vision specialist in Birmingham. She is confident she can fix lots of issues and has treated many TBI patients with PCS symptoms. I did speak to her once. One pre-requiste is no Xanax before or during the process. If I have to take a flight and go to new city I have to take Xanax because of the dizziness etc., So it is a cache 22 situation.

Sorry I guess this topic went some where. Coming back to the topic wheat is something I learnt recently I have to avoid and my stomach becomes calm. May be folic acid too?
