I am hoping the knowledgeable people on this forum can advise me on 2 questions related to building back my strength and stamina.

I am trying to figure out how best to gain back the abilities now lost to me. For example: listening to podcasts. Right now I am able to listen 7 minutes before I start to get a headache and needing a 2-hour break. Is it better to listen until I get a headache, or to completely lay off trying to listen to podcasts for a while?

The second question concerns pain-relieving drugs that mask the headache. Is it best to do everything I can do when taking drugs that relieve the headache, or to continue to limit activities?

Thanks, Joe
