TommyB,
It sounds like you have been very busy DOING. have you tried simple quiet rest ?
Many of the therapies you mention are limited to specific injury profiles. The continuing EMDR may be over-stressing your visual processing. It is not designed for PCS. It is more for anxiety and psychiatric conditions, PTSD, etc. I would not submit to it myself. I have a history of seizures.
What is the longest period of moderated activity without therapy that you have gone ?
There are no proven treatments for PCS. it sounds like you have tried all the treatments designed to treat the co-morbid injuries. Has anybody told you to ice your upper neck ? Treatment without icing to reduce inflammation can be futile. When I have a flare up, icing my neck usually helps. The atlas/c-1 to occiput joint is very prone to inflammation. It needs to be treated with care.
Has anybody observed your breathing when you sleep ? atlas-occiput inflammation can effect breathing and heart rate/BP. Do you do anything to maintain straight neck position when sleeping ?
Most of the treatments for PCS are self-treatment. Maybe you need to focus on self-treatment/disciplines.
My best to you.
