Waffles,

My symptoms started escalating ferociously around the 6 month post accident period and continued downhill for another year. They stayed bottomed out for another year after that.

I made it back to the gym at 2 years but it was 2.5 before I could do anything beyond minimal exertion. My cousin told me something that resonated with me, he told me I was in rehab, not the Olympics which allowed me to stop looking at the level of fitness I was at pre accident as something I needed to recover immediately and use it as a goal to keep me driving forward.

Swimming was a Godsend for me as running was beyond intolerable for my head.
