Thanks for the encouragement!
See my signature for my problems! Convergence insufficiency is the big culprit at this point though, as other issues have resolved or at least improved after sensory integration therapy.
I don't think it's true that prisms correct your convergence insufficiency, but rather, they can help you cope until your vision self corrects. My convergence insufficiency has been going on two years, I'm guessing, and I have had no progress, so I don't think my vision is going to self correct. Too many head injuries! Hopefully this vision therapy will work!
I'm using binasal occlusions instead of prisms.
Of course, now I have insomnia, so I'm probably going to feel like hell all day tomorrow too! My baby and my sick coughing husband keep disturbing my sleep! Once I wake up, it takes me forever to get back to sleep. I know messing around on my phone isn't helping, so I'm signing off!

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.
