Yippee!
I rode with my daughter on the Dumbo ride! It spins around in circles and goes up and down, and I didn't get dizzy at all! I was too chicken to try the teacups, though I was very tempted, but there are three kinds of spinning going on there, and I just thought it would be too much. I didn't want to ruin the rest of my day. At this point, I am calling my sensory integration therapy a success regardless of whether it helps with my light sensitivity issues. I've had this dizziness for six months and it was not getting better with vestibular therapy. It's too soon to say that I'm cured, but after one month of the sensory integration therapy, I've experienced significant results, and according to my dr, it takes time to get the full effect of it, so I'm hopeful for more.

I have recovered my cognitive function, and I've overcome severe vertigo through sensory integration therapy. Wellbutrin has helped me escape depression. I have recently had a few stress-related migraines, as well as headaches stemming from eye strain. I'm also dealing with tinnitus, lack of stamina, extreme light sensitivity, and eye pain. Diagnosed with 9 different vision issues: convergence insufficiency, pursuit eye movement deficit, egocentric visual midline shift, photophobia, visual information processing delays, accommodative insufficiency, saccadic eye movement deficit, lack of coordination, and central peripheral visual integration deficit.
*First concussion: October 2010. I was pregnant and got rear ended. I associated my mild PCS symptoms with baby brain and blamed my light sensitivity on allergies and dry eyes.
*Second concussion: December 2011. I hit my head on a wooden beam, saw stars but did not lose consciousness, and I had very disturbing PCS symptoms but didn't go to the doctor.
*Third concussion: August 2012. I caused a car accident as a result of PCS symptoms. Thankfully no one was injured but me. My husband confronted me, and I finally sought help and took medical leave from work. My symptoms worsened, and I developed severe vertigo.
*Fourth concussion: November 2012. I was riding in a car with a friend and we were hit head on by a driver who lost control of her car. I didn't have a big increase in PCS symptoms.
