Hi Aelfaba,

I intended to reply to your intro post, but haven't been on the site much lately.

Wanted to caution you about work-- the ER and my GP both neglected to mention the adverse effects of screentime, so I was working 4h/day after an initial 5day rest period.

At least you were counseled correctly post-injury, but don't try to push through. I did so for 5 months and have been paying the price for that.


My vision doc just provided a handout with a points system for daily activities & max points per day is 10. Computer work= 2 pts for 30m, so my typical (less productive due to PCS) days tallied up 40 pts prior to even getting home.

I would only work an hour and then take a break if I had known.
Best of luck-hope they understand,
Grace
