I decided to rest as much as possible over the long weekend.

I had 4 days off and found that TV after a while will provoke symptoms.

I also tried playing cards and it brought on some head pressure, however, my wife was watching TV in the same room so that could have been the issue.

We turned the TV off and played UNO together and that seemed to help.

I was also able to cut the grass and do some light weeding and it actually decreased my symptoms a bit. It took me two hours (usually only takes 1) so I think pacing myself helped a lot.

It was also a nice sunny day out so that likely helped lower the stress level a bit.

I played a very simple video game for about half an hour. Just reading and walking around, no twitch reactions required and it was for the old school Nintendo so no high def graphics or complex music. Symptoms flared up slightly as soon as I started but they did not get worse throughout the time I played and they resided as soon as I stopped.

Back to work today and I can already notice a difference, however, the fact that I rested for the better part of 4 days is noticeable.

I'm still going to try and get prescribed reduced work hours but it's nice to know that 4 days of being pretty bored have paid off.
