There is a fine line between pushing it that bit further and overcooking the goose so to speak. When I have overdone it I've gone into convulsions then had to spend days in fatigue mode. Found biking to be of much benefit and now have an Exercycle which I use from time to time but prefer the outdoors.

Light sensitivity has improved with glasses prescribed by behavioural optometrist. Have 2 pairs one with changing lens and others are wrap around dark lenses for when in full sun. I find that taking time out and covering eyes with weighted eye pad helps immensely. Wearing noise cancelling headphones at this time is my 'bliss' period, friend tells me it is my back in the womb time!

Gradually exposing myself to noise has seen improved tolerance but not at pace I want. Two years two months post accident I can now tolerate noise from frying meat! A lawnmower is acceptable, a leaf blower not! Radio and music tolerated for short periods where once they were my companions for most of the day.

Persevere ducking in and out of activity but don't ever give up.
