How are you doing? What symptoms are you still dealing with? You have done such a great job!! Can I ask how old you are?
Honestly, we are getting there...it is just darn slow. Are you still doing vrts? If so, what ones (if you don't mind me asking).
Wishing you the best! |
Hi Charlotte. I'm prety much the same. But I also know that my progress is always so slow that I don't realize it till a month later. I still have the constant movement feeling. That is what bothers me the most. The world is still always moving. Its much more subtle but its still there. Stores don't bother me at all anymore. After being in a car for about 30 minutes or more my symptoms are elevated, but it goes away quickly. I had stopped working out and started up again last week- I'm definitely more sensitive again, but adapting to it all over again. My balance feels fine, but I'm still not good at the eyes closed exercises.
The VRTs I'm doing are:
1) focussing on a letter with head turns (up/down and left/right)
2)focussing on a letter and move it left when my head goes right, etc
3)repeat number one with a pattern behind the letter and standing heel/toe
4)standing heel-toe eyes closed
5)standing on one leg eyes closed
I'm also doing the vision therapy exercises. And now shoulder exercises. I feel like there's only time in the day to rehab!!! Plus I try to get some cardio and strengthening in too.
I have definitely been having a harder time emotionally with all this. Its just so slow that its hard to keep focus and to keep regimented to get in all the exercises everyday. I've always had energy problems and so it makes it even harder to keep it all up.
I hope you feel better from the cold soon. My cold only elevated my symptoms for a couple of days- recovering quickly now from things like that.
What VRTs are you doing?
Feel good!
