I've been icing periodically but I will start doing it consistently. I've been taking ibuprofen pretty consistently. If I can't find a comfortable position lying down I'll look into trying to sleep in a reclined position.

My concussion symptoms have been a combination of dizziness, fatigue, lack of clarity/focus, light sensitivity, a deep dull head pressure, sometimes a little bit of nausea and headaches.

These are brought on or exacerbated by too much physical or mental activity. Screens have been especially problematic.

I was referred to a concussion specialist by my family doctor. She has been working with me to put in to practice the "return to play" protocol. During my first three weeks of recovery I slept pretty well but in the last 10 days about half or so of the nights have been significantly disturbed.

I've been doing a lot of self monitoring as per the return to play stuff but it's hard for me to evaluate how much progress has been made. The days after a poor sleep are particularly difficult to evaluate.

I've been pretty conservative with the short bursts of more strenuous activities like reading, exercise, and screen use. I wonder how much I should be pushing during those short activities and if I should be stopping immediately upon any increase of symptoms or if I should allow them to come on a little bit before stopping. I'm using screens for approx 15-20mins total throughout the day and not more than 7-10 minutes at one time. It would be great to find a way to slowly build up my ability to use screens as i use them a lot for work and recreational activities.
