Welcome - this site is a great resource, with lots of caring and helpful people. Here are a few suggestions re recovery:

- As much as possible, try to stay "sub-threshold" of symptoms (this gets easier as you make progress, although recovery is inevitably somewhat of a rollercoaster)

- You need both cognitive and physical rest. There are different ways to overexert yourself, so be careful and attentive. At around the two-week mark, I was taking it pretty easy and improving but got slammed with a setback after picking up and carrying my 45-lb nephew a few times - the lifting was too much exertion

- Also, symptoms can be delayed, so take things slowly and in very small increments - you might not feel the effects of activities for several hours, or until the next day

- Be patient and optimistic - it generally does get better, but recovery can take a while

- Don't skip meals

- Give your body lots of good nutrition

- Avoid hitting your head a second time!

- Avoid jarring yourself

- Find ways to minimize stress (easier said than done, but very important - be persistent, you will learn ways of doing this over time)

- Create a restful sleeping environment: dark, quiet, comfortable bed, comfortable sleeping clothes, good temperature for sleeping
