I'm glad you feel better after your shorter workout! And I'm happy to share. Although it's hard to tell with PCS if anything you do is really the best thing or any decisions are the right ones. I still wonder at times if I should just have just locked her in a closet for a year.

She fought through lots of ankle injuries so overcoming that "tough it out" mindset was really a big issue.

YES...she stops when she feels the slightest symptoms. Well...she is supposed to. I don't know for sure if she ever tries to tough it out. After a few regressions, such as you experienced a few days ago, I sort of doubt she tries to tough it out.

She does yoga in a class once a week and at home on her own maybe once a week. She is on the eliptical or running outside 20 minutes at a time probably 5 days a week. The running outside was a big deal. I wasn't sure if she would be sensitive to the jarring as lots of people are. I made her do a few really short runs before a 20-minute one. She does some 5 lb weight work once in awhile.

I'm sorry you guys are going through this with little ones to care for. I hope you have someone out there helping you figure out which doctors to see, what treatments to explore, etc. Hang in there...
