Yes. We have natural opiates in the brain and receptors. My guess is it has to do with the opiate receptors or a lack of neurotransmitters such as dopamine. I think therapeutic doses of methadone could be a very viable treatment for some of us, but there is such stigma against

opiates there is very little research on this subject that I can find. I'm sorry about your doctor. Proving you have been concussed is almost impossible. Exercise is probably increasing your dopamine levels I would guess.
