Default 2nd time through PCS... questions & company

Hi all,

It's been a while since I've been on this forum, which is because my symptoms were gone!

Long story short, 2 years ago I had a bad concussion, developed PCS, was off work for 7 months, BUT after 18 months was totally symptom free.

Unfortunately, that was short-lived and I've hit my head again and despite being more knowledgeable this time and taking care of myself, I still wound up deep in PCS land.

Some thoughts on my plan for this time:

- Go back on 50mg daily of Amitryptyline... seemed to help last time
- Yoga + meditation
- Experiment with CBD. Anyone have luck with this?
- Not baby my symptoms quite as much - last time I tried to rest enough to be totally symptom free every day. This time I'm going to try to push a little bit more, and allow myself to trigger mild symptoms. For example, typing this right now is causing pain, but I will get off the computer immediately afterwards and meditate to try to relax.

Anyone else a second-timer? Any advice or morale support?

Best,
Erik
