thanks
Ughhh i typed out this response and for some reason "post reply" didn't work. Try again...
Thank you for your understanding! How many months were you into your pcs when you saw the neuro ophthalmologist? I have a referral to see one but I don't have the appointment date yet. I am assuming it will be around April or May.
By then I will either be 11 months since my accident or I will be symptom free and cancelling the appointment. I don't want to get my hopes up on this appointment too but with my eye problems I'm hopeful he'll have answers/validation to what's been going on.
I'm supposed to start physiotherapy in January but I feel that may just be a waste of time.
Thanks for listening!

I'm a 39 year old, female, accountant. On July 2, 2012 I crashed my bike at the end of a 65KM road ride. I was fine that day but woke up the next morning to my current world.
Ongoing symptoms include: dizziness, blurred vision, light and noise sensitivities, cognitive problems, uncontrollable emotions/depression/anxiety, headaches (but they're getting better), mental and physical fatigue, difficulty communicating and sleep disturbances.
Currently seeing a fabulous Neuro Psychologist and vestibular physiotherapist and hoping to soon see a neuro ophthalmologist. I am currently doing 20 minute stationary bike rides daily, 20 minutes of meditating, 15 minutes of Lumosity and lots of resting. I have not been able to work or drive since the accident.
The things that have helped me the most since the accident are vestibular therapy, gel eye drops (for blurred vision, sensitivity and dryness), amitriptyline (10mg), and meditating. I am finally starting to see some slight improvements and am hopeful!
My brain WANTS to heal itself... I just have to let it and stop trying to get better!
