Alright thank you very much mark.
All the information you gave me I will use for the better. And the video game I normally play is minecraft, which is a block building game sort of like legos, which I don't think is that fast. I will definitely start taking my vitamins again as well getting off the amantadine, I was already planning on getting off the amantadine soon. Also, how much rest and how much exercise in a given day? What do you recommend? I normally walk For anywhere between 10-25 minutes, or swim in my pool. |

There are no medications that can speed up recovery. The only thing meds can do is treat a symptoms while the medication is being taken.
Your do not need scheduled rest as in napping. Take a rest if you feel sleepy. Then, a 10 or 15 minute nap may help. I take nay naps in a recliner. I put something boring or non-stimulating on the TV and lay my head back. I watch and listen while letting my mind drift off. I suggest you play games with a finish, whether you beat the computer in Scrabble or not or just finish a puzzle. There is a need for the endorphin release of a completed project. In Minecraft, it looks like you are never done except to admire what has been built so far. If there is a way to set each session so there is a goal to complete and you complete that goal, that will be beneficial. Sometimes, I find a joke forum and just spend time laughing at jokes. The jokes that cause a good gut laugh are very beneficial. Here is one I like. The jokes are clean and often make you think. http://www.wnd.com/forums/forum-350/ |

If you can exercise without causing an increase in symptoms, go for it. Keep in mind that symptoms can be delayed after the exercise.
