Actually, you have lots of choices. If you are commuting from home, you can arrange your schedule and activities to best support your recovery. If you are living on campus, it may be a bit more difficult to reduce your stress load but you still can.

College is for an education first. The fun and games are a distant second. Getting lost in the fun and games will be counter for your long term recovery and well being. Getting a strong understand of how your body is tolerating your environment and activities will benefit you for your lifetime. There is no way you can ignore it without paying a price.

I know it is tough to go from an aggressively active life to living with PCS. But, with a few changes, you and anybody can do it and live a full life.

It is all about making good choices.
