My maximum capacity at the times when my symptoms go away is normal screen limit. No symptoms regardless of screen time.

I can relate to most of your comments. Lately I have had multiple episodes where my left eye has uncontrolled movement. Either moving side to side or rolling lasting two to three minutes. I will get a slight pull in the eye just before it starts. It has been very scary, leaves me unbalanced and unable to process the environment where I am. It takes two or three days to recover....fatigued and what I call swelling, where my brain feels too big for my head.

I have had something similar, but not as severe. Blinking eyes feeling very, very tired after a nights sleep and slightly roaming about.

6 months ago I was using my phone freely and listening to podcasts with light sensitivity getting better every day. Screen time on my phone was essentially unlimited (10+ Hours per day) for a couple. months with clearly no issue. Then my brother died and a lot of stress has caused multiple steps down to a point where I have worse symptoms than ever before. This in my estimate is not further injury but some sort of chemical imbalance manifesting in increased symptom severity. I might have a vulnerability with these particular symptoms but I am in no way convinced that I somehow damaged my brain further and cannot recover enough to surpass where I was at in August once I get the psychiatric components under control. Just my perspective and experience. Wish I could snap my fingers and relax but my brain is too worked up. Not ideal for recovery.

Doozer,
I was going through the same deal at 14 months.....I had very little idea what was causing a lot of the falls. At 22 months things are much steadier now. I still head down at times but never as far or as long or as scary. Bud |

Danny, I had a rough year with massive stress in 2015, this has slowed my healing for sure. Bud, that's good to read, summer is on its way, that means less boredom for me, less need to use screens at all and more chance to heal.

I only hope that these periods of stress only delay healing and don't prevent it. You'll read a lot about certain timeframes for healing after a concussion. It would be really sad to miss out on potential healing due to stress that is out of our hands. Maybe this is my depression and anxiety talking but I think I have a point.
