Today is not a good day either Very irritable, to the point of being downright mean, and my eyes and brain just are not working well. I'm on the verge of tears and feeling very anxious. Just finished my meditating but it didn't "reset" me at all.

Gonna get off the computer for today and hope tomorrow is a better day. I normally see the worst side effects two days after something so if yesterday caused any problems tomorrow could be worse. How's that for negative thinking....

I agree Mark that echos are terrible. My son's room only has a little area rug and it echos in there terribly. I cannot have a conversation with him in there.

MsRrio, I can only imagine how fried you must be after your testing! I hope you are being kind to yourself and giving your brain a chance to recover. I understand about the earplugs being painful! I wore mine to a robotic event of my sons and seating was on bleachers. A kid was tapping his foot on the bleacher I was sitting on and it went straight into my brain like a hammer! I had to move very quickly! Good to know about celery

Wishing everyone a better day tomorrow....

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!
