lpatricia9988,

Welcome to NeuroTalk. Sorry to hear of your struggles.

Eowyn and Ziggo have given you good advice.

If you get symptoms from any activity, you should listen to your body/brain and curtail that activity. You may be able to used the computer for 5 minutes at a time or so. TV needs to be limited to low stress shows with simple audio, no MTV music etc.

Hi Def TV can be too harsh for many with PCS. Sit way back from the TV screen when you watch.

Quiet walks can be good and any form of manual tasks can help fill the void. The hands cannot work too fast for the brain. Arts and crafts can be good. Knitting, crochet, etc. I could even do jig saw puzzles if I did not over do it.

Unfortunately, there is no substitute for rest.

You will also benefit from good vitamin supplementation. B's are important. A B-50 or B-100 complex plus 300 mgs of B-6y and 500 to 1000 mcgs of B-12, Omega 3's, D3, all of the anti-oxidants, niacin, calcium, magnesium, and a few others.

Stay away from caffeine, MSG, aspartame (Nutrasweet, Equal) and alcohol. Maybe one glass of wine per day.

Audio books may be too much for you. Any time you sense a need to replay a bit of the book, you have over-done it. If your eyes struggle to focus or to follow a line of text, you have over done it. Any time you even start to over do it, you need to take a break.

Hope you feel better and find a way to avoid the boredom.

My best to you.
