Hello Wakey,

I would not worry too much. The truth is that it is very difficult to focus only on recovery all the time. If we don't do anything else the it is easy to get discouraged.

I did get hurt again, around the 2 year point. It was not as bad as the first accident but I think I lost around a year of recovery. Pushing it is not the best idea, but it is OK. Whenever I overdo it I can tell by the severity of my symptoms. Probably if you were causing a major setback you would know. We do not have to stress to much because our bodies will tell us.

Just be nice to yourself! I would like to encourage you about your length of recovery. I was seeing huge improvements after 1 year, just wish I didn't get hurt again. I think a lot of PCS is encouragement, basically the difference between a good and bad doctor!

P.S. I have the same symptoms as you, mainly the headaches.
