My balance is decent. They want to fix my eyes mostly. They don't track properly or something, which causes my brain to overwork. That's a technical term
When i asked about the pounding in my head, he...well, he didn't seem to be the type to admit he doesn't know something...but anyway, thinks it could be the fascia in my neck constricting blood vessels, or sorta a migraine w/o a ton of pain. Thinks I move my neck funny to compensate for having messed up eyes, and the muscles/fascia in my neck cause the headaches and pounding. Well, could be! Who knows.

Those remaining are fatigue, brain freezes/overstimulation, headaches, sensitivity to light and sound. Insomnia is getting better but still an issue, and appetite is ba-ack! Depression and anxiety are largely under control thanks to Lexapro, exercise, and a very distant light at the end of the tunnel. Drugs: Lexapro, occasional 2-5mgs ambien. Off amatryptaline. Taking about 453 supplements. Just started vision therapy, waiting on some blue-tinted prism glasses. "You will encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated.

Thank you for posting your experience - Hope it all helps.
I also see a functional neurologist. It's nothing like your description. He's very nice and very gentle and he doesn't use any of those machines. At first he helped with my headaches. Unfortunately the pain relief didn't last. My medicare does pay for him. There sure is a wide variety in folks who treat brain injury. |
