A word of advice from a fellow over-achiever who is much farther along than you in both PCS and life. Several weeks of rest is not enough. You will not get better by pushing yourself. Your recovery is only partially in your hands, but the part that you control is important. Rest, properly scheduled activities, and diet are the best places to start. I'm not a fan of multivitamins, but many here are. You should try them if you like. Eating healthy--plenty of fruits and veggies--and scheduling your day appropriately are key.

My advice would be to see how you do for those few weeks but then please consider taking a semester off, and please consider talking with your doctor or other healthcare providers about planning a recovery. Right now, it seems like everything is important. But you are so young that taking time off now will not diminish your career or life at all. You may miss some good times in college--but, after all, how good can they be when you are dealing with this everyday.

You do not want to be taking tylenol and aspirin everyday of your life for the next 50 years.

Best to you.
