Thank you for the great ideas. My friend actually bought me an adult colouring book so I've been using that and I enjoy cross stitching so I will try that out tomorrow and see how that makes me feel. I've also attempted reading tonight and it doesn't seem to be affecting me poorly.
It's funny you should mention my neck, I was just thinking a massage might help. I've noticed depending on some sitting positions I can feel strain on my neck and shoulders and even some strain in my head. So I think icing my neck is a good idea. I will continue to avoid screens as much as possible.
Thanks again

Find a low stress activity will be beneficial. I would expect you to also need some neck care. Many concussion symptoms are magnified by subtle upper neck injuries that cause inflammation that can disrupt vertebral blood flow to the brain. Icing your neck can be helpful.
Read the Vitamins sticky for some good info. Be sure to check the recipe for crushable ice packs. Most of the information is in the first post and one on page 46. (linked from the first post)
