I've been posting a lot about my own experience with neuroendocrine dysfunction that was caused by the concussion I sustained.
There are a LOT more articles than just these about the subject - it's one that's being researched quite a bit right now because of the vets returning from war/conflict and the athletes with concussion-related issues.
After almost three years I paid out of pocket to see a specialist and then I paid out of pocket to get some testing done. It was expensive. But it proved that I suffer from neuroendocrine dysfunction.
My Quality of Life has gotten so much better that it has made the upfront costs well worth the expense! I'm very happy and excited to finally be getting my life back!
I was turned away by three other endocrinologists.
It takes a special endo with experience and knowledge in this area of the subject to be able to test and treat this kind of dysfunction properly.
I recommend anyone interested in this kind of treatment go see an endocrinologist with experience post haste. You may have luck finding one on the Pituitary Network Association website.
