I too am wondering how much rest to get, I am plagued by the worst headaches ever, for 3 days straight it did not shift, even lying down in a dark room did not help.

My therapist said of course when it lasts for that long you've done far too much.

I find it very hard not to keep busy but am being "good" because I want to feel better and not fight it.

I was told not to sit all day, must do something but not too much so I guess it's trial and error, a simple walk will bring the headache on, no pain pills get rid of it, used to running up steep hills, hiking rough terrain etc but cannot do it, (I paid big time trying to run a hill a few weeks ago )

It's very tough, taking is annoying, noise, bright lights...

Sleep is important, today I woke up at 1PM after going to bed at 11, I do wake up in terror a few times...another story...but slept like the dead from 4AM to 1PM

Feel better everyone
