1)
Here is an interesting case study about a woman who had pcs after falling off a horse. Many of us have similar issues. Some treatment solutions near the end of the article.

From this last presentation...the slide which talks about the symptoms of central auditory processing disorder:

'Symptoms of Auditory Processing Disorders
Common symptoms of CAPD are:
• inordinate difficulty hearing in noisy or reverberant
environments;
• difficulty following conversation on the phone
• difficulty following multi‐step directions
• difficulty following long conversations
• difficulty taking notes
• difficulty with social situations—difficulty “reading”
others / pragmatic communication issues
• difficulty with spelling, reading and writing
• lack of music appreciation
• difficulty directing, sustaining, or dividing attention '



That's all for now. Hope it helps. I have called the U Conn. clinic and hope to speak with someone tomorrow to get more information about testing and therapies.

Leave no stone unturned!!!!

What happened: Legs pulled forward by a parent's hockey stick while resting at the side of the rink at a family skate....sent me straight back. I hit the back of my head (with helmet) on the ice, bounced a few times, unconscious for a few minutes. September 11, 2011. Off work since then…I work part-time at home when I can. It has been hell but slowly feeling better (when I am alone☺).

Current symptoms: Vision problems (but 20/20 in each eye alone!) – convergence insufficiency – horizontal and vertical (heterophoria), problems with tracking and saccades, peripheral vision problems, eyes see different colour tints; tinnitus 24/7 both ears; hyperacusis (noise filter gone!), labyrinthian (inner ear) concussion, vestibular dysfunction (dizzy, bedspins, need to look down when walking); partial loss of sense of smell; electric shocks through head when doing too much; headaches; emotional lability; memory blanks; difficulty concentrating. I still can’t go into busy, noisy places. Fatigue. Executive functioning was affected – multi-tasking, planning, motivation. Slight aphasia. Shooting pain up neck and limited mobility at neck. Otherwise lucky!

Current treatments: Vestibular therapy, Vision therapy, amantadine (100 mg a day), acupuncture and physiotherapy for neck, slow return to exercise, magnesium, resveratrol, omega 3 fish oils, vitamins D, B and multi. Optimism and perserverance.
