i took your advice and havent been on games pretty much at all today, i've been on the computer here and there but i took a 3 hour nap earlier today which feels like it helped A LOT. I was also resting a couple hours ago after getting up and cooking a bit, while cooking i started feeling a bit more dizzy than usual, so after cooking i rested and couldnt help but notice that my eyes felt as if they were bouncing around while they were closed..Is that normal?

I have taken the dizziness to be a warning to myself that I'm trying to do too much... so I will rest and try to take it easy (if I can) after I feel dizzy. The dizziness I experienced right after the injury I sustained was MUCH worse than it is now, but it's still a warning to me.

I try to watch light-hearted movies - horror movies and suspense thrillers are going to increase my stress levels - even if they didn't really "stress me out" before the injury - the feelings they bring up in me give off signals and chemicals in my brain that aren't good for my recovery.

I try to color to keep busy and I've been sewing felt christmas stockings for my niece and nephew.

Try to find some low stimulation activities for yourself like coloring, sewing, knitting or something so you don't get too bored.

Worrying and stress are not supposed to be good for the healing brain - so try to relax. You'll notice what you can and can't do because you'll get symptoms. Almost anything is worth trying - but we don't know whether you'll experience symptoms from doing something - you're going to make better guesses than we do about that - but pay attention to what your body and brain are telling you and if you see signs of fatigue then stop doing that activity for a while.

I try to think about how my body reacts to being terribly ill...like a bad upper resp. infection or stomach flu...basically, whenever you are trying to heal, and you do stuff that your body would rather you didn't because it is busy trying to heal, it gives you signals. For me, it tends to be chills/cold sweats, headaches or just random pains in my forehead and temples, and weakness/exhaustion. When I go too far and I get a bad headache, it feels like a wound opening up in my brain...sounds dramatic, but I think that's basically accurate; I'm essentially re injuring myself.

Well i can definitely tell when i've gone past my limit, normally it feels like theres pressure on my head especially on my sinuses. Yesterday i pushed myself a bit to hard and when i tried to go sleep last night it was awful. My eyes kept bouncing around and it was REALLY irritating. Finally after a couple hours they stopped and it felt like it was kind of hard to open them

I do however, always wake up feeling better than the day before. And if im on the computer frequently things seem to worsen up so im definitely going to be taking quite a few breaks throughout the day from now on. Last night kinda sucked.

I can't tell you if that's normal...but I can tell you I experience the same thing. I don't know exactly what causes it. However, I noticed it happens when I feel that I've had enough and need to rest. When I close my eyes, they do exactly like you described...bounce around.

I think Mark said once that usually means you've gone beyond your threshold and should try to stop whatever your doing sooner.
