I've also noticed an increase in confusion and brain "buzzing" that is very distressing. It's so hard to tell what's causing what because I don't live in a perfect world where the only change in the past 5 weeks has been added vestibular therapy! The headaches are still pretty much gone which is great and the actual vestibular exercises are getting much easier so must be helping for that.

For now I'm going to continue the vestibular therapy but we've stopped the walking exercise and are sticking to the seated head movements and standing still balance moves. I've stopped doing lumosity online sessions because I think they might be the cause of the further eye problems although I was noticing mental improvement with doing them.

My therapist says that if the increased symptoms don't settle down we will do a trial of stopping the treatment altogether for a few weeks to see if there's improvement. Next week I see the neurologist (sports concussion clinic) in Toronto who might have a different view on therapy or what I should be doing so we'll see.

Has anyone else had an increase in symptoms a few weeks in but then they get better? Anybody had increase in eye symptoms? I had the expected increase in certain symptoms for the first few days after each session but this is lasting too long.

I hope you are all having a good day!
