They honestly look at me like I'm drunk in the middle of the day.

I have heard from other sources that exercise helps recovery in pcs patients. However, when I try I get migraines for days afterwards. All I can do is go for walks. Do your symptoms get worse when you do the exercise?
If I work out too much and over exert myself, I end up feeling very foggy the next day (from being too tired). However, if I work out for an hour, and get alot of rest I tend to feel better after working out. For me, it seems that getting enough rest and not over exerting myself is key. Good luck with everything! I'm sure your recovery isn't too far away.
