Default careful with short term "feeling better!"

Interesting that I woke up today and started out with very mild symptoms except louder ear ringing. My night symptoms have gotten worse though. I'm in Ontario. Wonder if there's a weather connection?

As I've said in my other posts, I have a bad habit of thinking I'm getting better with short periods of lessened symptoms and it just leads to a bit of disappointment when they come back full strength.

Even worse than that would be if you overdid it thinking you were feeling better. I'm obviously no expert though so hopefully you are getting better!

Wishing you a good day tomorrow too!

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!
