Default LENS Therapy, Nystagmus, and Vestibular-Ocular Mis-Match query

Hi all,

Almost two years on from my concussion and I'm still here but not much better.

I just have a few questions regarding some of my recent medical appointments, findings, and diagnoses;

1. LENS Therapy

I visited a Psychologist a few days ago who recommended the use of Low Energy Neurofeedback System therapy to help me recover from my concussion. 6 - 10 30 minute appointments. He appeared very confident that this would greatly reduce or even eliminate the majority of my symptoms.

2. Right beating nystagmus

I also recently completed a battery of vestibular assessments. Although I am yet to receive formal feedback from the ENT specialist, the Audiologist who administered the assessments indicated that I had 'right beating' nystagmus. This is apparently an indicator of damage to the vestibular system which explains my balance and coordination issues. I am not sure what can be done about this but initial research indicates that anti-convulsant medication is often prescribed.

3. Neuro-Ophthalmologist Assessment

A few weeks ago a Neuro-Ophthalmologist diagnosed me with vestibular-ocular mis-match and has recommended that I visit a neuro-physiotherapist, possibly for the epley maneuver, which should appropriately relocate the supposedly displaced otoliths in my left inner ear.

Does anyone have any experience or thoughts on the above three areas?

Thanks!
