Default Therapy

I read your post yesterday but didn't respond becca use I have difficulty writing well.

I went to dizzy and balance therapy and found it extremely helpful. Part of it was that I love my therapist. My symptoms were horrible a few months ago and now they are 90percent better, which makes life much easier. It took me eight weeks of therapy to get better.

I still go now but we are working on vision. I can't get in to see a specialist til late July.

I am also type a. My advise to you is to not try to do too much too soon. They would tell me to do thirty reps , 3 sets. So I would think, I can do twice that! And then I would get sick! You need to take things very slowly. Everyone would ask what my therapy was. And I would have to say that this week I am trying to stand in a corner and move my head without falling over. And they would say really, that's all? Yes, it's really hard. Then I rest and try to walk across the room while moving my head. Then I rest again.

But I really noticed the gradual improvement.

And luckily my therapist knew more about concussions than anyone that I had met and she had plent of time to talk to me.
