See a Neuro-Optometrist too!
I just wanted to put in my two cents and urge you to get your eyes checked by a neuro-optometrist. I've had four concussions in the last two years, the most recent one in November, and I have severe dizziness that makes it so I can't exercise or do a lot of other activities. I'd been doing vestibular rehab since October, but was not seeing a lot of progress. My frustrated physical therapist referred me to an optometrist, and it turns out that the big problem is with my eyes and I really need to do a totally different kind of rehab (though I may also need to do vestibular rehab afterwards as well). I should have seen a neuro-optometrist back in October!
It's great your signed up for vestibular therapy, but if you want to do everything you can to get well, see a neuro-optometrist too to get checked out. That way, you've covered all your bases! Also, remember that to get better, you really need to rest! When I first was off work and "resting", I still tried to do things around the house like scrub the baseboards and weed the garden. That is not resting! I ended up making my symptoms worse. Don't do that to yourself! Good luck!
