I was told VM was like the flu, I should feel like myself within a week! I had traumatic brain injury, affecting vision, balance, cognitive, speech, emotions.
Took me struggling for almost 3 years to slowly regain function, still unable to drive or handle overstimulation.
Were in various therapies to help you recover??
Nuero gave 2 rounds of IV steroids, followed by oral prednisone for inflammation, Seen ENT for balance, vision, no solution, seen eye doc for prism eyeglasses to help for first year, eye muscles weak and became stronger. Infection specialist spinal tap no results, a natrual path dr was the best help , medical drs didn’t help my condition at all. Natrual path put me on Low dose Naltrexone 4 mg a day started @ lower dose for energy, emotional stability, aches, pains, limbs responding for movement. Rebuilt strength, but took time with peaks and lows, ? Rest, rest,& more rest, disabled from work, life is better I’d say 50% of what I was is the new normal. I tested normal for thyroid function but natural path dr felt I presented with low functioning thyroid, 7 mg thyroid a day really improved my life . Balance, vision, dizziness, all improved within days!
I self inject 1.5 ml b12 every 3-4 days, can’t function without it.
Hope this helps in ur quest of learning.
Take care sonja
Wow!!
