Think I might have over done it! Had headache yesterday and increased ear ache and noise sensitivity, jaw and teeth pain and slightly increased light sensitivity. Too much too soon, but don't feel so bad today and I didn't require migraine medication. It worried me because I thought I might have set the PCS off again.

mouse,

Bummer on the headache. I've often wondered if I did more damage than simply bringing on a headache during some exercise workouts. But if I back off for a few days or so, or if I take some Naratriptan, the headache will resolve. So, it tells me that I'm glad that I'm not doing damage only making the headache mad.

As far as fatigue, I recall within the first year of injury that if I exercised above the threshold I'd get really tired to where I'd want to take a nap. Before injury, I usually didn't take naps afterwards unless I exercised for several hours but even walking for say an hour, I'd be wanting to rest. I listened and napped. It was recharging.

I'm can't say we injured the same parts of the brain but we seem to share some symptomatic similarities.

Just try to dial it down for a while till your brain will tolerate more.

Thanks, I have to say since all that exercise the one thing that hasn't gone away is the earache, it has been really bad for 24 hours and isn't going away. I don't know if this is my system adapting to the noise sensitivity which I had, and it has transformed into earache instead. Or perhaps it relates to the exercise and swimming I did. I know that earache can be related to migraine type symptoms, if it doesn't go away by this evening I might just take my migraine medication. Also going to get my teeth checked out tomorrow because I have had a lot of pain in the jaw and teeth also. But all this could be related to migraine http://headaches.about.com/library/n...n-pathways.htm

Swimming is extremely difficult for the vestibular system....so if you have any damage there, it could bring on a lot of symptoms. Good luck!

Thanks for the advice. I am going to leave the exercising for this week, I exercised at the start of last week and have had earache since and this has put me off. I don't know if the exercise caused the earache or if this is caused by tinnitus and/or noise sensitivity. I am going back to work this week anyway, so need to put all my efforts into that.

Good luck Mouse. I hope work turns out to be ok and something you can do. I am pulling for you. Let us know how you do.
