Thanks for the response. So essentially your thoughts are that while I may have delayed my recovery, I have not eliminated the potential to recover?

I disagree with the stress factor. So many doctors attempt to use that. To be frank with you, I'm not stressed. No family, no children, comfortable financial situation. I don't think stress is a factor here.

Anxiety on the other hand, especially with regard to this condition, is certainly an issue.

Is there anything I should or should not be doing? I have no choice but to work (10-14 hour days, mostly in Excel), but am able to take frequent breaks and clear my thoughts.

Drinking? Going out? Sleeping a lot? Sleeping a little? Exercise? I try to exercise and I generally get bad headaches. I used to be a three sport athlete and played a Division I sport. Now it is hard to work out without crazy headaches.

Also what are your thoughts on Amantadine?
