Full recovery is a broad term. Many try to say a full recovery is to a condition with all the functions that existed prior to the injury, no matter what the situation. Those with a better understanding consider a full recover means regaining full function in life in normal situations. It is not uncommon to experience struggles during times of stress.

A relapse can happen at any point in the recovery.

What many do not understand is that good days are not necessarily recovery days. They are more likely days that, when linked together, can lead to more improvements. Real improvements happen best during this good days. Anything that can be done to increase the frequency and duration of these good days usually leads to further improvement. The same gods for sleep. Improvement happens best when quality, restorative sleep becomes the normal situation.

You are doing well since you have come to the realization that you do better by living with your current condition rather than fighting against it.

Good for you.
