I'm feeling a little bit better, with doing absolutely nothing, but I have not returned yet to how I felt before the yoga and appt. I did not sleep well last night and think that may have something to do with it.
I am hoping to try the yoga again at the end of next week. My first two or three vestibular rehab sessions were hell too and made me worse for a few days but then they got better and I've noticed much improvement with headaches and dizziness since starting them so its worth it.
I'm hoping the yoga will be the same and get better with continued tries. I admit I'll be worried about setting myself back but feel I have to try pushing on for a few more sessions at least.
I'm hoping to get some sleep tonight and a better day tomorrow. Wishing you all 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!
