Question Questions w/ Mental Fatigue and PCS

I need help. My wife has PCS and now 2-3 months into it she is still dealing with mental fatigue. This is still an issue b/c if she gets too overwhelmed her symptoms (headache, nausea, neck/shoulder pain, light senstivity, etc) returns. She still can't return to work. She tried part-time and it was too much.

It seems that tasks or activities that require mental concentration brings on fatigue. An extended nap/rest does seem to help.

So my questions are...

Is there anything else to help with the fatigue?

What therapy/techniques are there to help with her increasing her mental capacity? Does light exercise help?

What is the outlook of her recovering based on people's experiences or studies?

Thanks

Mike in Maine
