Thank you Mark for that suggestion. Unfortunately, I have had a hysterectomy due to cancer and would not even know where I was in my hormone cycle! My swings are weekly and not monthly. I have about three days a week where I am completely not myself. I will be sure to ask my doctors about hormones and do more research into it.
It is very hard in Canada to find anyone that looks at that sort of thing. I have contacted the people at the link you gave me, in the past, and they basically say the same thing...not much available where I am.
I am currently still working on getting a neuropsych test done and I also, finally, have an appointment with a neuro ophthalmologist for September! Slowly but surely things seem to be falling into place.
I will keep looking down that avenue. Thank you
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!
