I am a 2nd year university student who got a concussion playing hockey. I've had PCS for over 3 months now.

I am on a work placement for the summer. I initially started working full days, which was a big mistake as it really aggravated my symptoms. I have since cut back to working 3-4 hrs/ day. Some days I feel pretty good, other days I have a headache pretty much the whole time.

Does anyone have any experience whether I would heal faster if I stopped working altogether? The difficulty I am finding is that some days I am fine for 3 hours while others are not good at all so it is hard to set a specific duration I will work for since my symptoms day-to-day can be so unpredictable. I am getting frustrated as I have seen little improvement over the 3 months. I also have never had full cognitive rest. I have had complete physical rest but I got my concussion during exam period and my work term began shortly after, so I have been "thinking" pretty much all throughout this concussion.

I am willing to do anything that may speed up recovery, even if it means quitting my job. Thanks
