This is the message i sent on facebook after returning, if someone can instruct me on how to transfer images on here, the pictures of my eyes physical appearance changing in one week will make you a believer. or go to my face book if that link works


God is amazing people, after four months of being in the dark with sunglasses on, unable to leave my house, watch tv see, or sometimes even talk, a week at carrick brain center I'm sending this message from a busy resturaunt with my uncle and parents.

The work they are doing there for brain injury is nothing short of miraculous, and if it weren't for major money corporations like the NFL trying to cover up concussion issues, you would of already heard of it. You soon will. The man who developed these techniques has an I.Q of 197, Einstein was around 160. I have learned more about brain injury in a week then 99% of doctors in the world know I can say honestly.

I may head into this field myself it's so amazing and rewarding for the doctors.
I just want to reach out and share what i know with all the other people suffering.
They have really found a cure for concussion. I'm not a hundred percent quite yet, but I am well on my way.

Thank you so much to everyone praying and bieng supportive , I can't wait to see y'all and enjoy The holiday with my family.
And friends, god bless and merry Christmas.

And seeing is believing you say? Take a look at my eyes from last Monday and how they are now.

I am glad to hear that your struggles and symptoms were helped by Carrick. Not everybody who suffers a concussion has the same problems as you. Many do not get the same relief from the Carrick protocols.

Unfortunately I'm on the east coast. In order to view the picture I would need to send you a friend request. Is that okay?

Absolutely

Hi,

Thanks for discussing this and sharing your experience. Would you be so kind as to elaborate on the following:

• How much does the program cost?
• How long did it take you to get into the program?
• What types of exercises/tests were involved?

I am currently experiencing a movement disorder of the eye called nystagmus, and it is difficult more me to read and complete simple tasks. I also experience cognitive issues (primarily attention and memory). These issues are all related to a brain tumor I had that was located in the cerebellum.

I realize many people think Carrick is a quack. However, I think it might be worth a try. His methods also sound reasonable to me. Do you think I would be a good candidate or this program or a similar chiropractic neurology program? Thanks

I should note that although I had a brain tumor my other symptoms are quite similar to your's (nausea, vertigo, balance, auditory discrimination, etc). Interestingly enough NHL star Sidney Crosby head was hit in a similar region as my tumor, and he complained of similar issues as well. He ultimately saw Carrick, and is now having a great season and looks as good as new. Some of Carrick's methods seem comparable to my neuro-physiotherapist, only more rigorous and multifaceted. Maybe there is a method to his madness?

cerebellarmaniac,

Welcome to NeuroTalk. Carrick's protocol is oriented mostly to structural issues related to traumatic brain injuries. Your injury is disease related and likely does not fall within his protocol. Although, some of his neurochiropractic protocols may help with ancillary issues you may be experiencing.

Carrick's clinic is expensive. I have heard starting costs of $8,000 to $10,000. He has established clinics in other locations.

As I said previously, his protocols may be helpful to some and completely useless to others. It is an expensive experiment.

Please tell us about the ongoing symptoms you are experiencing. What therapies and support have you received to help you accommodate them ?

I have a fine nystagmus in my left eye. It is almost imperceptible. It takes a trained eye to notice it. I also have memory and attention issues. They are much easier to address with work-arounds and other accommodations. Memory and attention issues should not stop you from pursuing a full life. Maybe I can give you some tips for work-arounds. Tell me about how your memory and attention issues manifest.

btw, My memory skills rate in the bottom 5 to 12% of the population so I have had some serious memory challenges to overcome.

My best to you.

Thanks for the response. I'm currently enrolled (since January 2014) at a outpatient rehab hospital and am meeting with an OT once a week. I am going to start an Attention Process Training Program next week. Additionally, I am likely going to work with a speech pathologist. This is in addition to a private neuro-physio work I am doing.

Luckily for me I am only 11 months post-op and am fairly young (23). However, it would be nice to know if there is any program out there that could help me out. I have reason to suspect that my vestibular issues might be responsible for, or possibly amplify, some of my cognitive issues. Perhaps Carrick's program will help my brain compensate (only one side was affected as far as I know).

i know my brain inury was directly vestibular, if ur problems are caused by ur brain stem misinterpretting info, carrick may help. Anyone who thinks hes a quack is an ignorant fool. its hard for me to say if he could help because of the tumor, i know they can help vestibular injuries from concussion. its 5000 dollars for a week, thats it.
