I think you may need to stay off the alcohol permanently or at least in moderation.

I was also wondering, did you have light sensitivity with your PCS and did nortriptyline help with it?

Take care.

This time it's different. I woke up on Monday when we were leaving and felt very miserable. Eye site was off constant headache/head pressure. Things have gotten slightly better since I got home on Monday, but they have not changed significantly. I am back at work and my eyes are still very sensitive to light/the computer screen. I am contemplating calling my physical therapist and starting back up with that, but I don't know if I should wait it out and see if things get better like they usually have been.

I am still taking 30 mg nortryptiline before bed every night, but besides that I am just taking my usual vitamins. Protein shake every morning and vitamin C. Since I go back on Monday I have been taking a couple ibuprofun every few hours to help with the headaches. Any recomendation would be much appreciated. Last time I saw my Neurologist and Physical Therapist, both said it was ok to start drinking again and that I should do my best to live my life normally again. It worked for a long time, I was feeling great and symptom free until this weekend for some reason. I really hope this does not put me back to square one.

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you,
D
