AlyssaMarie,

Welcome to NeuroTalk. Sorry to hear of your struggles. I went through PCS struggles as a sophomore and junior.

Have you had any blood work done ? Hormones/thyroid and such can cause strange symptoms. Doesn't your school have a concussion specialist for you to see ? A family doctor is often the least experienced with concussion.

The stomach has extensive numbers of nerve endings. It is not uncommon for neurological issues to cause these nerves to be overly sensitive. Sometimes, an anti-anxiety drug can help. It is easy to try a short term use of a benzodiazepine drug such as Klonopin or Xanax to see if it resolves or lessens the problem. Xyprexa is a drug that is sometimes used to stop weight loss and even help with weight gain. For me, it just stopped my weight loss.

Be aware that antidepressants can be a problem at your age, especially SSRI types. Many PCP's are quick to prescribe them.

It would give a lot of us comfort if your mom was involved with these questions. She can set up her own NT screen name and discuss your care.

Please keep in touch. We are here for you.

My best to you.
