[QUOTE=Mark in Idaho;657006]You will likely do best if you find the exercise level that causes a return of symptoms and limit your exertion to just below that level. The Buffalo protocol does this limiting from a pulse rate perspective. If you have the resources to purchase an exercise pulse rate monitor, you can likely find your pulse rate limit.

Mark,

Thanks for the information on the heart rate monitor. I've used one for many years when training for triathlon, so it does make sense. I kinda knew there was a threshold there mainly from my use of RPE (rate of perceived exertion). When I was in PT the therapist had me using something as simple as an arm cycle and I noticed the increase in symptoms.

I noticed that LOTS of new stimuli gives me an increase in some symptoms too. I call that crossing my ambient processing threshold, for a lack of articulating it better! This is probably what you are referring to when mentioning emotional overload. Yeah, I got a little cranky and had to simply let the brain rest a couple of times this weekend.
