I appreciate all your responses Mark, I really do. I will look into what you have provided. I just looked into the visual clinics you spoke of, and like what I read. I am going to call a few of them and see what they say about my situation and if I can be helped.

I am just afraid that they will bring back all my symptoms and worsen my eye complications like this schmuck in Minnesota did! I did simple eye exercises such as follow a pen and pointing a pen and moving it towards your face and back out away from your body that sparked major nervous system complications. Heart rate and complete sensitivity to light, movement, Nausea, dizzyness, etc.

After educating my self on how the neck can cause many symptoms I can tell how extremely tense I am. When I drink alcohol(I can tolerate it now fine after 3 years of not drinking) I feel best when I drink. I feel energetic, more fluent and mobile, and less pain in my neck. More cognitively sharp, and motivated. I know I should not be drinking, just stating how it helps.

I smoked marijuana for 2 years as it helped all of my symptoms throughout my pcs before I went to the PT in MN, and literally feel it saved my life. Nausea, dizzyness, depression, stress of symptoms, etc were controlled. I cannot tolerate it now as it locks my neck up and gives me more pain, which I do not understand.

Visual problems are the main problem now, along with not being able to exert over a long period of time. I never had major problems with tracking or reading even during the beginning of PCS except for sensitivity to light and motion sickness in the car and what not, but after these eye exercises and upper cervical disasters it went to hell. Unbearable at times.

Eowynn, I went to the U of Iowa for a Neuro Opthamologist appointment last summer, which essentially was the same as a regular optometrist and that ****** me off. I had a .75 prescription given after. They said nothing was wrong, and had no idea what was going on when my eyes were absolutely painful and felt as if they were being pulled into my sockets.

I really feel that alot of my symptoms are muscle related, and this is why I going to try MMTR in canada as I feel I am runnning out of options. I am going to be 24 in april and only want to work and support my self. I was an athlete all my life and have great pride in work ethic and to still not being able to work is the most frustrating thing.

I really appreciate you guys taking the time to read my saga and provide information and suggestions.
