I'm hoping to get to the bottom of what the cause specifically is soon (ie just vision, vestibular, or something else) I may look into light therapy, thanks for bringing that up, its tough not being able to pinpoint that actual source yet, that makes it hard to treat or do therapy, I'm seeing a neuro opthamologist this week, and a neuro otologist next week to hopefully help me sort some of this out

I have exact symptoms and i was diagnosed with convergence insufficiency. You need to see a neuro-opthamologist and ideally one that prescribes prism/tinted glasses. Vision therapy is fine and works for some people, but others like myself don't respond to it/makes symptoms worse and need the prism.
I wouldn't be able to read or work with them. It doesn't get rid of all of my symptoms, but without them, I would stand no chance of being functional. Mind Eye Connection is a very good place and worth traveling to. PM for more info. good luck! |

Well, the neuro opthamologist concluded that there isn't anything wrong from his point of view, since then I've also found out that I have a 40 percent weakness in my left ear from the incident (from what ive read a lot of normal people test even at 30 percent weakness) and the incident may have been a trigger to vestibular migraines/MAV. So the journey continues

Hammett,
How did you figure out that you had 40% weakness in your left ear? Who did that test and what test was it? |

The headaches subsided after 3 months, but the dizziness and vision issues, which I believe were related, have improved only recently. I felt I couldn't focus and couldn't see clearly objects, no medical diagnosis tho, like my eyes tires fast. So week ago I started using my weaker eye alone, covering my left eye when using computers, studying and working. Since last week Im using my both eyes again, forcing them to focus, with some vision training, looking very hard at details, and things really got better that way, and because I think anxiety was part of the equation, started taking Vitamin B group, to boost my mood, and fight fatigue. I don't really know what have worked and how, I'm just glad it did. I'm still not 100% not even 80% but still, finally getting a little better |
