Hi

It's now two and a half years since my injury. I was discharged from specialist care 8 months ago. Last September I returned to work, having had a career break peppered with volunteering while my children were pre-schoolers and I had PCS.

I'm teaching part time, 5 afternoons a week. My symptoms have worsened since I started this job (I teach young children, am main carer of my 6 and 7 year olds, and run the home with my partner working long hours and is away a lot). Although they are not debilitating, they are noticeable and do concern me.

I keep meaning to take vit B supplements but is it too late for them to have a genuine restorative effect? Am I doing too much or is it ok to push a bit? My specialist said it's ok to do so in that the benefits of leading a fulfilling life do have a positive effect etc.

I agree and I do love my job, but do not want to cause even longer term damage or delay full recovery by working (I am lucky enough to not be entirely financially dependant on what I am currently earning through this job).

Any shared experiences, insights would be gratefully received.
