Hi all,
I got a concussion 2 years ago when I blacked out, fell, hit my head on the tile. Don't know how long I was out. It's gotten a bit better than the horrible first 6 months, but I STILL suffer from: dizziness, loss of balance, headaches, pixelated vision, and tiredness fast, all of which get a lot worse the more tired/exhausted I am, and, in the times it gets worse, foggy brain, loss of words including some basic words, dyslexia when I type, etc. Oh, and increased and severe depression.

When I went to the brain injury clinic at a hospital in Toronto (after waiting 7 months) they said there was nothing they could do except physio to get me *used to* the dizziness. I didn't want to just get used to it, i wanted to get better. I felt hopeless, so...I didn't do it. Now I'm wondering if I should have. But it still wouldn't have addressed all my symptoms.

I recently asked my dr to get me a second opinion with another neurologist. He dismissed me--at two different appointments. So i went to emerg (my symptoms have been getting worse including some new ones), now have a referral. But at emerg they dd another CAT scan, and said it still looks the same, they can't see anything.

I'm so frustrated! And I've been feeling so hopeless. This is really, really interfering with my life. So I've been looking into some alternative medicine.

I'm wondering--has anyone tried Cranial Adjustments? Has it helped?

Also, hyberbaric oxygen therapy? Has it helped? (Ontariobot . ca )


And also various supplements? I figure those at least can't hurt, and I can afford some and some may help.

*edit*

So, er--has anyone else tried alternative medicine and had any success? What things have helped you?

Take care,
Cheryl
