I can't remember exactly why because of the obvious, but I am taking her advice.

I've been told the same thing, now 2.5 years and 25 extra pounds later I really wish I was told it was okay to do light exercise.

For me the neurosurgeon explained it as the increased heart rate, causes increased blood flow, which increases pressure on the brain causing increase of symptoms.
