Hello,
Perhaps if you explain a bit more what happens when you do these things... you say it's not your vision so what happens? Do you get a headache? My problems with computers, reading and tv are that my eyes get fatigued, blurry and sore and also my brain can't handle it and I get a headache or confused. I know my eyes are part of my problem though but maybe not yours.
The answer is probably as simple as.. don't do it until your brain feels it can handle it. Quiet environments with low stimulation are the best way to heal. As you get better overall, with proper nutrition, supplements, rest, then you will be able to tolerate all the things you mentioned a little bit longer and then longer as time goes on.
There may be suggestions to make some of those things a little easier or ease the symptoms you're getting so let us know what they are and we will see what others say.

I'm a 39 year old, female, accountant. On July 2, 2012 I crashed my bike at the end of a 65KM road ride. I was fine that day but woke up the next morning to my current world.
Ongoing symptoms include: dizziness, blurred vision, light and noise sensitivities, cognitive problems, uncontrollable emotions/depression/anxiety, headaches (but they're getting better), mental and physical fatigue, difficulty communicating and sleep disturbances.
Currently seeing a fabulous Neuro Psychologist and vestibular physiotherapist and hoping to soon see a neuro ophthalmologist. I am currently doing 20 minute stationary bike rides daily, 20 minutes of meditating, 15 minutes of Lumosity and lots of resting. I have not been able to work or drive since the accident.
The things that have helped me the most since the accident are vestibular therapy, gel eye drops (for blurred vision, sensitivity and dryness), amitriptyline (10mg), and meditating. I am finally starting to see some slight improvements and am hopeful!
My brain WANTS to heal itself... I just have to let it and stop trying to get better!
