All rights reserved.* Thank you for your thorough reply Are you saying I shouldn't rest, even though these kind of activities actually increases my symptoms? The more I rest the better I feel. Wouldn't it be okay to rest as long as I sit straight with my neck properly alligned? I read somewhere that physical activity helps with neck injuries, but makes concussions worse (and also PCS I assume). Just now, I rode a stationary bike for 15 minutes, and I felt dizzy and "out of it". So should I stop excercising when my symptoms worsens? So could I have both PCS and a neck injury? I know the anxiety is a major issue that magnifies my symptoms. Especially now that I get twitches in my body and neck, sometimes leading to my head shaking uncontrollably, making me feel worse again. Bumps and jolts also certainly makes me feel a lot worse, and sets my recovery back. Would the neck injury be the reason I react to jolts and bumps? I am in the prosses of getting medication for my anxiety. I started taking some dietary supplements daily, a month ago: B-complex, Omega 3 and curcumin & pepper. There is a symptom I forgot to mention: My pupils vary in size, like they can't adjust properly. And just recently, I have started to have to have frequent and persistent headaches and a hurting neck. Previously, I have only gotten headaches when I have pushed my mental and physical effort to the max. And that is how I feel right now - I feel like I should stop using screens and pushing myself too much and have both mental and physical rest. My face also get very hot now that I push too much. Yes, I live in Norway. Physiotherapists and chiropractors however doesn't usually require a referral. I have found a well recognized chiropractor near my area that I might try. Feel free to recommend specialists or physical therapists if you want/can. Last edited by Chemar; 01-22-2018 at 03:46 PM.
