Please go see an endocrinologist to get your hormones tested. Or ask your primary care physician to test them for you.

I was finally diagnosed a few months before I hit 3 years after sustaining a concussion. I am now on hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and I'm doing significantly better than I was before I started the HRT.

There is a lot of new evidence that ongoing problems caused by a concussion may be caused by hormonal imbalances due to damage done to the pituitary gland or hypothalamus.

You will need to get these hormone levels tested:


» 0800 Cortisol levels (<12 mcg/dl, recommend follow up)
» IGF — 1 Insulin–like Growth Factor (anything less than 200 ng/ml needs stimulation testing, people after sustaining mtbi can have "normal" IGF-1 levels and still be growth hormone deficient)
» TSH — Thyroid Stimulating Hormone
» FT4 — Free Thyroxine
» LH — Luteinizing Hormone
» Testosterone (males only)
» FSH — Follicle Stimulating Hormone
» Estradiol (females only
