Yeah, that really sounds like a hormone deficiency to me. Please ask your Dr. for a blood draw to measure your IGF-1 ASAP.

The fatigue and decrease in stamina that are describing can really be caused by a GH deficiency and that's usually the first hormone to "go" if the pituitary gland is malfunctioning...

I saw four different endos (five if you count the diabetes expert I saw too) and only one of them was familiar enough with post-traumatic hypopituitarism enough to be able to order the right tests and then prescribe the right treatments for me. I feel like I owe him my life - he is totally me hero!

I'll happily help find an endo in your area with this kind of expertise if you'd like too.
