Sharon- so sorry for your troubles.

I'm on the same back to work schedule - 3 days at 4 hours and it increases every month. I've also had some days wheee my headaches were worse. The days that are better are when I take my brain break (10-20 minutes of dark quite room, no screens, prayer or meditation and ....a slinky as I walk around the room --I can give you info on this if you Pm me). It seems after my brain breaks I'm way more adept at handling computer work and leave work feeling confident and headache free.

Days I don't BB or forget to eat and hydrate- forget it! I just smile and nod my way through the intense pain.

Pacing is important!

I went to a neuroopthamalogist and though she was outstanding- all she could really tell me was that I had a brain injury.

The BIGGEST help was finding a Neuro Rehab center that works with stroke and brain injury patients (your sports med doc may know of one) but finding a vision Occupational Therapist who knows about visual processing, ambient vs focal vision, and can help you recover. That after 2 years of wondering what was going on with my sight- was my saving grace. I worked with mine 2xs a week for 4 months so far and she's been amazing. At first I could only last 1/2 hour before I'd get a mega headache and have to lay down- by the 3rd month I was rocking it!

I'd recommend trying to do it through a hospital as opposed to an optrition (sp?) as insurance will cover it unless your insurance covers vision. Pm me if you want more detail.

Pace yourself! Brain Breaks - my doc says - every 2 hours or earlier are essential!
