Thanks so much for the valuable information, it is definitely something I will bring up with my gp at our next visit. If I understand correctly, your son was dealing with an anxiety disorder which you originally thought to be pcs related but was actually due to abnormal hormone levels?

Also I fear it may take a while for me to be able to see a specialist since referrals take a long time to come to fruition where I live so I guess I have to learn to manage symptoms in the meantime. Is there anything your son found that was helpful? My current symptoms are anxiety, head sensitivity (sensitivity to hard steps, bumpy cars, things like the heel drop this morning, etc), brain fog and some physical symptoms like headaches and nausea. I'm also a student who goes to college every day. Was your son also a student or did he take a lot of time off for his recovery?

I think this is definitely very promising as something that may finally give me answers as many doctors are questioning the diagnosis of pcs and seem more keen to point to anxiety as being the primary cause of everything but not one has mentioned hormone levels.
