I wonder if anyone has experienced anything similar to this. About a week ago I contracted a nasty bout of the flu, this seems to have exacerbated my pcs quite a bit. Could this be because my bodies energy reserves are all being used up fighting off this thing? Headaches are daily now, and it's the type which originates from my two 'bruises' either side of the back of my noggin.

Illness strains the whole body, brain included. Expect to need time after recovering from the flu to get back to your pre-flu brain state.

As I suspected Mark. This isn't the only time either, last summer I had some kind of super flu, knocked me down for 3 weeks. Then my wife had an operation to remove a right wing sphenoid menigioma from her brain. Then I got the stomach flu where I was in the toilet day and night every ten minutes in agoney. That was 2015. Now I have this. All on top of pcs since 2014.

But I still stand. And I still move forward. Even though all of this and the daily grind strains the system.
