Default rules for party....

I'll bring the b vitamins! Nothing like a few stress relievers to start a party! That's if I show... if I don't it's just cause I'm having a bad day.. nothing personal!

Now remember, this party cannot have any of the following:
no loud music (preferably no music or noise at all)
no bright/flashing lights
no pop or other sugary treats
no chips or other processed or bad for you snacks
no alcohol
no conversations involving more than 2 people
no dancing or anything that raises the heart rate

I'm sure I'm missing something.........Should be a good time!

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!
