I'm taking 5 different hormones, 3 of which are generally not considered to be "gender-related" in the media, due to deficiencies proven by stimulation testing and other lab results and my HMO covers their replacement. I didn't have any deficiencies or symptoms of deficiencies before the concussion and concussions have been proven to cause hormone deficiencies in recent studies which is why I sought testing... I highly suspected that was the reason I wasn't getting better than I was after 3 years.

I've noticed I'm a bit private (and sometimes overly sensitive) about it when others have asked me to post specific details about it on a public forum... but what would you like to know?

I suspect that many other concussion patients' are misdiagnosed or undiagnosed cases of pituitary dysfunction due to head trauma and I feel strongly that I want to "get the word out" but I at the same time I feel reluctant to post too many details about my own treatment because it is so personal.
