Peter,

I too have PCS and find that neck and shoulder massage help, and I am going to try a head massage at the weekend. I also find reflexology very therapeutic and relaxing, but the biggest help for me for breaking the emotional-physiological cycle of PCS is anti anxiety medication. Stress and emotional issues caused by PCS create physical symptoms like noise/light sensitivity, headaches, insomnia and muscle tension, so finding ways and means of reducing the source of these problems is very important, as well as knowing what triggers symptoms. Neuropsychological input is really helping me understand this horrible condition, I am going to get better and you will too, but worrying and focussing on symptoms feeds into the cycle of symptoms. Good luck, I have a good idea of how unpleasant all of this has been for you.
