Hello Darren:


Three months is a fair piece of time. You might well have reached a plateau with respect to recovery. Nerve regeneration and reacquiring new neural connections (plasticity) progresses slowly. There is not really much that can be done at this late time. DAN would tell you the same thing.

It would be customary to have retreated you early in the sequence until you did not demonstrate further improvement. This time has passed probably. What we are left with now is "tincture of time." :cool2:
