My symptoms came on gradually over a period of about 8 weeks or so. I read somewhere (??) that some of the axons (the connections in your brain) are stretched and torn. The stretched ones eventually die off which. as I understood it, means that the communication links get broken. But I also read that the brain will "re-wire" itself by creating new pathways. This is where rest and patience comes in.

Early on, my light sensitivity was constant, but it has improved and now just comes and goes.

I'm glad you're taking Mark's advice and not playing again. Although I didn't play anywhere near your level, I loved playing soccer. It was my passion and I really struggled with having to let it go. Now that I'm 16 months into this PCS stuff, it's an easy decision - another knock to the head and who knows how bad it might be.

Take care,
Tammy
