Yeah, pretty much do stuff that doesn't cause symptoms. For a long time, I couldn't read, watch TV, listen to music, or even crochet.
I slept as much as I could. I talked to friends (brief conversations) on the phone. I walked, slowly, outdoors if possible. I went to senior yoga classes at the community center (yes, I was the youngest one in the room by several decades). I colored. I listened to nature sounds like waves or falling rain. I downloaded and listened to guided relaxation and meditation podcasts. Playing SuperBetter helped me focus on what I was accomplishing during this time rather than what I couldn't accomplish. After vision therapy, I was able to do more visual tasks like reading & surfing the internet. What symptoms are you still having, and what seems to trigger them?
