Hello MsRrio!
Good to hear from you too! I'm glad your back to work plan is going fairly smoothly. I don't think the doctors here are trying to figure out what caused what they are just trying to figure out if it is really bipolar or concussion symptoms to decide the best course of treatment. I've been here 2 months now and have been told I will be 8-10 more weeks minimum of medication changes. It's great to be finally getting some help and I've had days where I see some great improvement but it's sad because then they change a med and it all changes again! On the good days I really don't want to be in here, especially during the summer on beautiful days! But, when they've adjusted a medication and I'm having a bad reaction to it then I know this is where I need to be. Still just taking it one day at a time! All the best to 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! |
