angela,

Welcome to NeuroTalk.

Yes, the symptoms you are experiencing are normal. The end of the day is often worse due to fatigue from the days activities.

Simplifying your day is worthwhile. Give your brain a break from stimulation.

You are very early in your recovery so you will likely improve greatly in the coming days or weeks.

Some get some headache relief from icing the back of the head and neck.

btw, It is recommended to not use one's full name when posting about health issues online. The administrators can help you change your name if you want to. angela_w1 or something like that would be good.
