I went for my PT evaluation. My Medicare pays for it. No problem there. The eye exercises caused me to have more severe balance problems and vertigo is back. I saw my Dr yesterday. She said i had plateaued in my recovery now I am pushing the brain for more control. It will get better. I will be going to PT once a week to work on building strength in my legs and core and doing eye exercises at home 2x a day.

That all sounds good, @rose4622, I'm glad that your Medicare is covering your PT.
I had vestibular therapy for my balance/vertigo and I remember that the eye exercises made things worse before they got better. At that time I was still working full time and would always have to schedule the eye exercises at the end of the day, so I wouldn't be sick/dizzy during the work day.
After a while, though, everything got much better.
