Hi Camyam, Sounds like we're almost at about the same place symptom wise (and the same age I think if 73 is 1973 ) I'm really curious to know what treatment they think you've missed out on. Please share with us any suggestions they have for you. I'm only at 9 months but my insurance company is starting to wonder about return to work also and I'm nowhere near ready or able.

It sounds like you've had some good and informative appointments. I hope what they put in their reports is the same things they were saying to you. Are you in the US or Canada? Just curious because you said insurance review and not Worker Comp.

Good luck with your review with the physiotherapist and please share any words of wisdom you are given!

Thanks,
CC

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!
