That's great Bud! So glad to here you are doing well. I also just hit the 2 year mark at the end of March. I have often thought from reading your posts that we have had similar PCS journeys.

So do you find that you can do all the things you used to for as long? For instance, do you work full time and then do all the things like exercise and chores at home after work? Are you able to have a full day of activity without symptoms?

I find I can do most things in smaller increments. Like I can work half-time and exercise 20 minutes instead of an hour. But I need breaks and naps and a lot of sleep at night. I usually have a constant low level of dizziness and fatigue that I have to manage.

Exceptions are that I can't exercise heavily like I used to or do any activity that involves impact and a lot of turning. So running and my favorite sport of basketball are out of the question.

Are you symptom-free most of the time? Just wondering if what I am feeling is similar to others at this point.

Thanks.
