Hi sospan

Not to hijack the thread but I wanted to share a tip.... it takes me hours to make supper and the main problem is I keep re reading everything not sure if I've added the ingredient or completed the instruction.

I purchased a clear piece of plastic, either the protectors that you put a piece of paper in for binders or some type of desktop blotter, and a dry erase wipe off marker.

If you can put the recipe in the protector that's great or if its a book paperclip the plastic on then you can use the marker to check off everything as you go. When you're done you just erase the marks and use the sheet again next time! I can't cook without a recipe right now so I use this method to get by.

Hope maybe that helps you or someone. Sorry rmschaver

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!
