I just want to say this as well. I pushed myself trying to work 4 hours a day for 3 days the first week of Jan. And I thought I was doing well. The crash (setback, flare up) hit harder than ever with my symptoms the worse they had ever been! It almost seemed like I had another concussion or another brain ailment. My husband was very worried and my emotions spiraled way down.

This crash lasted at least 6 weeks. And now, my speech is doing really well. And I am still improving. Even though I still have struggles, I am becoming more aware of just how little it can take to go overboard. Its only taken 2.5 years to learn this

Our grandsons were over yesterday for a short visit and they are so good and they were fairly quiet. I was communicating well, but today it's a no-go. I've done extremely little today. Most of it spent just resting in the quiet and dozing every now and then. I could do more but Im starting to read myself better and STOP! Im fairly certain tomorrow will be better.

Take it easy and be good to yourself!
