Hi....they are starting me on the vision exercises at home since I'm leaving for NY soon. When I get back home end of July I will go for the vision therapy. Yes, I did see just a neurologist and the minute they hear you had an accident they don't want anything to do with you. I saw a Neurophysiologist and the minute I mentioned "accident" he literally threw me out of his office. He got up from chair and said "I can't talk to you , leave now and you will not be billed"..I asked the Neurologist who was suppose to be a concussion expert, if my BP that was in the 200's was associated with the TBI. He said he never heard of that. The NIH.gov website shows it can cause your BP to be erratic. I certainly have the strength to find answers, what I'm lacking is support. Here is a picture of what my eyes look like. Then they also found a problem with my hearing. My brain isn't processing what people are saying. I'm understanding different meanings of what people are telling me. It's just nuts...the bangs are hiding the dent on my forehead. Thank you for your message, it means a lot.

Hi Sue, Have you tried seeing a Neuro-Opthalmologist? Was very helpful for me with my post-concussive eye issues. The regular Opthalmologist told me there was nothing wrong with my vision, didn't listen and I felt totally gas-lighted. The Neuro-Opthalmologist knew exactly what was experiencing and was the key to my recovery. You might consider trying that pathway.
Good luck!
