It took me a long time to realize this. A set back made me realize who converging has been causing all these symptoms. They happen with a lag in my case so it is hard to tell what is causing what. But what I did not realize earlier was how much better I can feel if I did not converge. For two years I did not have more than 3 good days in a row.

Now that I am off work, I can have as many good days as I want, it is my decision: to read or not to read... as simple as that.
This seems to be the case for me as well. Once I quit staring at computer screens all day, I've felt much better and have been slowly improving over the last year. If I work on a computer for a couple hours, symptoms come back and anxiety flares up the next day. What's frustrating for me is that I've been to about 5 different eye specialists and so far no luck in getting this fixed.

12/02/2012 - Light concussion at boxing practice. Ended up having PCS for about 3 months.
March 2013 - Thought that since most of my symptoms resolved I could start having fun again.
Went snowmobiling once (didn't hit my head) and concussion symptoms returned and got even worse than before.
June 2013 - accidentally bumped my head against a deck railing, and had a month-long setback.
November 2013 - drove to work after a big snowstorm and the roads were very rough, ended up having another setback.
2014 - Having setbacks after coughing/sneezing too much, or someone slapping me on the back, or any other significant jarring.
Feb 2014 - Started seeing Atlas Orthogonal chiro - most helpful doc so far.
June 2014 - Two months of physical/visual therapy - no noticeable improvement.
September 2014 - Diagnosed with Perilymph Fistula in right ear.
November 2014 - Fistula surgery (switched to left ear before the surgery after additional testing).
January 2016 - Quit work to "work" on figuring out PCS, so far it seems that eyes/vision issues are the most contributing factor, especially computer work.

Current symptoms are: inconsistent sleep patterns, headaches, vertigo/dizziness, anxiety/panic attacks, mental fog/problems with concentration, problems with computer screens.
