They are right, but there is definitely a point where you just have to push on. There are things you will have to deal with, the "swelling" pressure feelings, the vision issues, the fogginess, that after a certain amount of time you learn how to decipher when they will be better or worse and when you can push and when you just can't. For me, I play softball again now and there are most games I get bad and can push but some I know better, overcast days are a NO NO!

There are also times where you just have to say hey, I have the time I will just take it and let yourself just rest. Do something that doesn't upset your brain, I cook, and let it not have to push through. It will thank you with a good day soon to follow. I'm paying today, Monday, for too busy of a weekend and I've cancelled my plans for tonight to recouperate. You have to listen, pushing too far isn't going to make the next few days better, but not pushing willl leave you feeling isolated and alone in a depressed state. At least it does me.
