“Starting to Feel Like Myself Again” (Dayle’s Story)

Written by Greg Bullock on 29th Jan 2018

It only took one day in December 2016 for everything to change for Dayle. She was riding on her new horse in a small town in western Australia, when she was thrown from her saddle—landing hard on her head. Although she was wearing a helmet, the injury knocked her unconscious and left her with a concussion, among other injuries.

"It took quite a while before I started remembering anything. The broken ankle and concussion kept me in bed for a few weeks—and then the migraines arrived," she said.

Painful sensitivity to light was another prominent side effect that she just could not seem to shake.

"I knew I didn't like anything bright, and in the office I would quite often have the lights off with the blinds down and wear my sunglasses."

Tired of taking pain killers and other medications, Dayle knew she needed to find natural relief for her photophobia and light-sensitive migraines. After some research, she discovered TheraSpecs glasses and learned how our unique precision tint is able to reduce the issues associated with post-concussion light sensitivity. And within just a few days, she knew she had a solution that would work for her.

"Since the glasses arrived, I have only had three bad migraines, and I am starting to feel like myself again....finally! I wear them during all my waking hours, taking them off only to shower and sleep," she stated.

She is even getting back on the horse...literally. She sent us the above photo of her and her horse out in the Australian sunshine, with Dayle sporting her Haven TheraSpecs Outdoor. And she credits TheraSpecs glasses with giving her this second chance to do something she loves.
