It seems normal to me.
This happened a lot during my last concussion. I would feel great and go to classes, go to work, and then the next day I'd be laid out. It's happening with my mild concussion now as well. The past week I felt like I was coming very close to being healed. And these last two days I've felt pretty terrible. Probably a result of going out and about and doing more, spending more time on the computer - who knows? I've had a lot of injuries and illnesses in my young life, but head injuries have by far been the worse. There's no clear timeline, and it's frustrating. |

Yeah happens to me all the time, during the bad days I just tell myself that this is the depression talking, just wait until tomorrow and everything will be fine and it usually is.

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. |

Welcome to the roller coaster of TBI's. Often hindsight can see something from the previous day that caused an overload but not always. Sometimes, it is sleep related.
I find I need to have simple things to do on those bad days so I do not make things worse. You are definitely not alone with these struggles. My best to you
