Except for a brief respite when I was feeling much better in December, I have not been able to run for 8 months.

It feels like I can literally feel my brain bouncing up and down in my skull when I try to run now.

Stationary bike can be OK at times, but even then any head bobbing can be bad news.

At times in my recovery I have worked out or gone for a hike and felt just fantastic during and after. Other times I do nothing for days on end and get worse.

I find when I feel really bad I am really tired and can fall asleep easy. An hour nap or really just relaxing with my eyes closed for 30 minutes can really refresh my mind and make doing stuff more productive.
