EsthersDoll, thank you so much for all that info! I have written them down.

I can't afford to get a lot of extra stuff right now--money is super tight--but I did get the B 12 sublingual--thank you!-and have been taking it every day. I will try to get a few more of these things.

I *think* I did healing touch--I had cranial sacral done many times after the concussion. It helped a tiny bit, not much, and it was very expensive. i don't have the money right now for anything.

My big hope right now is the cranial adjustments (chiropractor) since the guy has a huge section on his website about post-concussion and has helped NHL players. But i can't afford that right now, either--that will be about $1000.

Meanwhile, I'm going to add in as many supplements as I can that you all have mentioned, as I can.

I walk my dog every morning, and I walk sloooowly. I was wondering why i walked so slowly--i'm used to walking quickly--but i've been realizing when i walk fast, I get headaches, and i also start getting dizzy faster. But part way through my walk with my dog i'm always dizzy. But she has so much fun out there, so i still take her on a long morning walk....

I've heard of the Bowen treatment years ago, and had forgotten about it. That's something else I could look into, too... later, when I have more money again. I'd love to hear your experiences with it.

Sorry for the delay in responding. I went to the second (or third?) neurologist on Wed, and he told me he couldn't help me. He said the specialist he would have referred me to is the one I already saw, AND i've been to the head injury clinic (where they told me that all they could do was physio to get me used to the dizziness, and that just sounded so...hopeless to me.)

I broke into tears in his office, asked wasn't there ANYTHING that could help, any alternative therapy or anything, and he said not that he knew of. I got SO depressed for a bit after that, plus i've been working crazy hard on my writing for a deadline...which makes me so much more dizzy, working so hard. I finished today and am trying to just rest and rest.

But I got a call that they had scheduled a MRI for me. Is there any point in my going? Will it help? I don't have much faith in the medical system right now.
