Now, I can drive on the freeway again, in short trips, by myself. It took me 3+ years and hormone replacement therapy to get there.

The hypopituitarism caused by concussion is the latest and greatest research concerning mTBI... but you never know what they are going to learn in the next couple of years.

I say never give up hope, do the best you can, and it gets easier as time moves on.
Thank You!

I am sorry to ask but what is HRT... I should probably know... how did you get tested? who did it?

The Start: MVA, t-boned, on 1-12-14 (my sons 5th birthday) and did not think anything of it.. my back hurt on site but everything else seemed ok. Lost about 10-12 hours from about 3 hours after the accident to the next day...Experienced terrible brain fog for over a month, plus intense headaches, nausea, dizziness, cognitive difficulties, disorientation, no short term memory, depression and just an overall hangover feeling daily.

Current Situation: I'm about 7 months in and my local neurologist has waived her white flag and therefore I am headed to Dallas to be seen (I have family there). The headaches are still daily. I have nausea, dizziness as well.

Drugs I have been on- Vicodin (off), Naproxen (off), proanolol (off), topamax (off), cataflam (off), Midrin (off), Flexeril (off) and now Namenda XR (off), Nortrptylin (off), Verapamil (off)
