Hi kambrielle,

Its very important at such an early stage to get cognitive rest as well as physical rest. Make sure you are avoiding visual and auditory stimulation from computers, tvs, conversations, radio, etc. Now is not the time to be doing research online or watching long movies! You will almost definitely recover fully if you take it seriously and rest!

I wish someone had been more clear what "rest" meant when I was first injured because I thought it mostly meant take naps! Its normal to be tired. Take naps as needed and get as much sleep as you can at night.

Drink lots of water, no alcohol, eat very well (avoid processed foods, sugar, artificial sweetener, etc), take your vitamins, warm epsom salt baths and just relax and don't worry!

Everything you're experiencing is normal and will get better! If possible a bit more time off work or part days would be good. Now get off the computer, turn off the tv and rest

Take care
