Default light physical exercise

Hi all,
One more question I'd like to pose to you. I came across the studies by the Buffalo concussion clinic about graduated exercise potentially helping with recovery, but the studies really weren't big enough or well designed to prove their point.

About a month ago I started walking a few hundred yards, now I'm up to probably 1.5-2hrs of light walking or slow stationary bike. I haven't had a ton of dizziness or balance issues which makes this possible, just headaches, depression, fatigue, headpounding, ringing in my ears (one-woman band!).

So I guess the light exercise hasn't hurt, I think it has helped with depression and recent anxiety (I think due to a med switcharoo + breakup in the same couple days). Just curious about others' thoughts? Seems to be the one thing that makes me happy and is contributing to emotional stability but it doesn't follow the "don't increase your activity until your symptoms go away" rule.
