Default Tip for Computers, Car Rides, and Sneezing

Computers:

When scrolling down the page or something is about to pop up, keep your eyes closed. It helps a lot!

Car rides:

Sitting on a pillow and wearing a neck brace could help. Don't wear a neck brace too much outside of the car rides though because your neck can get stiff, lose m range of motion.

Sneezing:

When you sneeze, to avoid such a harsh movement, try putting your head down a little bit and squat down as you sneeze. Your body works with the momentum not against it and there is little jerking motion at all.

Hope these help people! I'm praying for you all. Please prayer for me and others as well! I realize that I suffer so I can help others-that's not such a bad thing. Focus on the Postives!

Thanks.
I do notice that scrolling too much on a computer will make me dizzier.

For sneezing I usually try to support my head if I have time to prepare for a sneeze, unfortunately a lot of times the sneezes come on very rapidly out of the blue.

12/02/2012 - Light concussion at boxing practice. Ended up having PCS for about 3 months.
March 2013 - Thought that since most of my symptoms resolved I could start having fun again.
Went snowmobiling once (didn't hit my head) and concussion symptoms returned and got even worse than before.
June 2013 - accidentally bumped my head against a deck railing, and had a month-long setback.
November 2013 - drove to work after a big snowstorm and the roads were very rough, ended up having another setback.
2014 - Having setbacks after coughing/sneezing too much, or someone slapping me on the back, or any other significant jarring.
Feb 2014 - Started seeing Atlas Orthogonal chiro - most helpful doc so far.
June 2014 - Two months of physical/visual therapy - no noticeable improvement.
September 2014 - Diagnosed with Perilymph Fistula in right ear.
November 2014 - Fistula surgery (switched to left ear before the surgery after additional testing).
January 2016 - Quit work to "work" on figuring out PCS, so far it seems that eyes/vision issues are the most contributing factor, especially computer work.

Current symptoms are: inconsistent sleep patterns, headaches, vertigo/dizziness, anxiety/panic attacks, mental fog/problems with concentration, problems with computer screens.
