Top 5 PCS tips.
What would yours be for someone newly diagnosed?
If I knew what I know now, from the start I wish I had been able to:
1. Get plenty of quiet rest in a darkened environment - use ear plugs and sunglasses.
2. Avoid stress
3. Avoid over activity or exercise
4. Avoid over stimulation - limit TV, computers, radio.
5. If needed get medication for headaches, migraines, insomnia, anxiety or depression.
