I am self employed so I have a little freedom to bounce around. I don't always shy away from something now that I have learned I can curb the longer lasting symptoms if I am paying attention to those quiet signals I am sending myself to take a break. Hard lesson to learn for someone who likes to push on and finish but currently not wise to do that..maybe never really was wise.

Hang in there, my worst was from 6-12 months. It has been a steady but very slow uphill since around 14 months. By no means easy at work but it has been doable.

Thanks Bud. So you think--keep working, but in moderation? I also really want to have energy for my children and wife, but usually don't after work these days. I realize that many of my symptoms are minor compared to a lot of folks (for instance, I have no headaches, never have, no nausea or actually any real cognitive problems--aside from being slower at most tasks--, but I think that pushing through them is really prolonging this). I just have this general feeling of unwellness about me a lot of the time, as well as odd balance issues. Sometimes, I wonder if it is something else entirely, and not PCS, but I've already kind of been down that road (EKG, going to get some blood tests). When I'm with my family and we are having fun and playing games, etc, generally I feel pretty good, esp. after a good night's sleep. We had a great day traveling yesterday, just the 4 of us, and we ate out, the girls played at the park. But add anything else to the equation and I'm hurting a lot of the time, especially when it comes to hanging out with extended family.

Does anyone know--but can spontaneous healing occur from this disorder? Does it happen to people? I pray every night about it.
