I am being very cautious and careful and protective of my head. These incidences would seem to be harmless and in some cases tough to avoid.
My questions are: Is it normal to have minor jarring incidences to cause me to have a setback with my recovery? Does everyone with PCS experience this super sensitivity to head movement? Is this my life now? Is it possible that this will get better?

Is your setback a full-on setback, or is it more like an interlude where you feel akin to how you felt for a short while, then return to the same state you had been? If it's short (or for that matter, long) you may have positional vertigo. As I understand it this is an ear condition in the labryrinth of your ear that's associated with TBI but is related to balance which could give you the feeling, if not the reality of a new TBI.
