Each of us is affected differently by our injury - though there are many similarities. We can't expect our recoveries to happen exactly the same way.
There are basic guidelines which seem to be true for just about everyone, but a lot of it seems to boil down to - what can my own body handle? I have found this site to be wonderful for increasing my awareness about my own symptoms. I lived in a fog for many months and really had no idea what was happening or why. The more I learn about others, the better I'm able to figure out what's going on in my own life - and thus figure out ways to deal with it. The important thing is to figure out what does or does not work for your own recovery. I know, I know - easier said than done!!
