Golferguy,

It will get better, I am in the IT sector and had to take a year off to recover and did a 5 months easing into my work routine. I am now at 22 months, life is not the former normal but as many say I have a new normal. I can play with my kids, go to movies, drive to work everyday.

I echo the others comments. Also, take a look at the Vitamins and Supplements treads. It sounds like your doing many things correctly.

You may want to consider seeing a neuro opthamologist or behavioral optometrist (www.nora.cc), many of us required vision therapy and had significant improvement afterwards. Have you tried accupuncture or osteopathy? Some have found those therapies helpful, I am not sure where the other drivers insurance comes into play to support some of those therapies but they would be worth trying if you have coverage.

As for working on the computer, some quick tips for the time you do spend:

1. If your eyes are sensitive or strained, try a product called F.Lux, made it easier in my eyes.

2. Some tinted lenses may be helpful to reduce the glare, I wear pink tinted lenses from time to time in front of the computer.

3. Play with your lighting in your surroundings if you have that option, I had to remove all fluorescent lights from my home for a while. I use incadescent bulb lamps at work to wash out the commercial lighting now.

I myself have just seen my first specialist since my injury of November 2011 2 weeks ago and still diagnosed with persisting short term memory issues.

Good luck!
