got it.
given that symptoms have kicked off now, should i try to push through them or rest? or treat this as if it were a concussion and try to do graded exercise after a week of rest? |

Nobody else can determine what works for you. You need to just move forward and let your experience be your guide. I have developed a pretty good idea of what the cost may be for pushing it with various activities.
What I am better at is recognizing the very early signs of hitting my limit. When I notice them, I back off a bit, depending on the situation and my willingness to pay a delayed price. None of the symptoms are life threatening so letting them manifest is not as big a deal as many think.

I think that recognizing that symptology is uncomfortable but not returning us to the hell we once experienced with PCS is a key to accepting the lingering results of a head injury.
Dang difficult art to excel at. |

agreed. but right now it's feeling mighty bad. dizzy, back of the scalp is sore, taking it easy for a couple of days but need to get back to work. legs feeling like jello. not sleeping well isn't helping either. i think the stress reaction from the incident is causing a lot of my problems.
