Things are slowly starting to improve - my body is moving better for sure. I still notice that it takes me quite a while to recall information to have an intelligent conversation and that I am forgetting things often. However, I've been having a very strange thing happen that I am now starting to wonder if it is linked to the PCS. I am 30 years old and have always been cold, but now I find myself having what I can only term hot flashes. Has anyone else experienced temperature sensitivity such as this following a concussion? I'm going for a CT scan in a week, related to the concussion but not related to these hot flashes as I didn't mention them to my doctor.


I am 62 years old, post menopausal and since my Moderate TBI and PCS since Jan. 2015 MVA I have made progress but remain on disability, however I am researching these "hot flashes" I now have, they are horrible. I found a site that talked about Neuroendocrine disorder after a head injury, this may help you, it did me. Just have to take a lot of cool showers
