I say Yay helmets! or I wouldn't be here either! I would make you a sugar free, gluton free, all natural whole foods cake if you wanted it! (but believe me you probably wouldn't want it ) A normal cake would just cause inflammation and you don't want any more of that.

Congratulations on making it to one year strong and with a good outlook! Hopefully once all the stress in your life settles back to normal stress you will start to see more progress when you look back a couple months. You definitely cannot look back weeks or days but I'm sure you are seeing a big difference if you look back say 6 months or more.

I hope you have a good day!

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!
