Hi! I had really bad eye pressure after VM. It helped to put on ice packs just to have a little relieve. My recovery took a long long time. The key is to listen to your body! The more rest he takes now the sooner he will recover! Sleep sleep sleep listen to stories and it all will get back to normal but it takes time!

Hello, You can find my 28 year old daughter, Rosie S' Story, via the link on the forum stories from the home page.

We found that cranial massage worked wonders for her. Her job is working with horses on pretty much a daily basis and is very physically demanding.

It is rare for a story to be so positive and we have tried to let people know that this amazing complementary therapy worked for her. It helps release the spinal fluid which VM leaves a blockage for. Rosie is pretty much cured after around 10 sessions coupled with actupuncture, although found awesome relief after only one appointment. She is now free of all pain killers and antidepressants and feels right back to her old self.

We can only let you know what worked for her. It's not for all, but has now given amazing relief for many. It seems the success could be to do with the skill of the cranial osteopath you use. So it is important to find out the osteopaths credentials and experience in this specialised field particularly dealing with VM sufferers, if you can. (Not all osteopaths realise that this helps VM sufferers, it is often carried out on young babies with birthing problems). You need an osteopath and not a therapist who mearly has some training in cranial massage.

If you find you are getting the violent headaches and feeling lethargic and depressed after a few weeks, give this complementary therapy a go, it really could be worth it and save you being on prescribed drugs, along with months, years, of unnecessary suffering.

Kind wishes and best of luck

Yes, same for me. I am 4 1/2 months out VM and had eye pressure/pain w eye movement for at least 3 months, it has gradually improved to being almost gone now. My neurologist told me recently that after-effects of VM can linger for 6 months, but depends on the person. Hope this helps to encourage your son, even tho progress can be very slow.

Thanks for the hope what other symptoms do you still have or have improved to a point?

Persistent headache, dizziness that impacted driving other than slowly, fatigue, light and sound sensitivity. Mostly resolved now with exception of headache and still fatigue easily.
