Today I did 10 mins each on the treadmill (walking), crosstrainer and bike followed by 20 pool lengths. This has caused nothing more than a mild headache and earache. I want to push on without provoking my old symptoms. Is PCS recovery rapid when it starts or does it take time? I am being very cautious about exercise because of what has happened in the past, but am growing in confidence.

Hi Mouse,
my routine is
-Physio treatment 1 per week
-Pilaties 2 per week
-Run 1 per week
-Swimming 2 per week
-Light weights 3 per week
I find that while I am exercising I have no symptoms and then there is a backash for a few hours afetr but thats it. I enjoy the exercise beacuse it helps with restufull sleep and releasing endorphins.
