Other than the ER docs and my PCP, I've seen a neurologist and had two follow-ups with his assistants, as well a doctor (M.D) at the center for integrative medicine. The integrative med doc and one of the neuro assistants recommended the alternative therapies.

I went to both an optometrist and an opthamologist and neither of them found any problems with my eyes. The light sensitivity is a problem with my visual cortex--not my eyes.

I haven't had any x-rays done on my neck. The only sort of treatment I've had for my neck and shoulders is massage. Other than muscle tightness (which is an ongoing problem), I haven't had any neck pain.

Finally, other than a couple of acupuncture appointments, I didn't even start with any alternative therapies until over a month after my re-injury. I haven't noticed any changes with the other therapies, but the acupuncture seems to be helping; the only steady improvement I had was when I was doing it weekly, and as soon as I stopped, I backslid.
