You also miss the point that the numbers for hypopituitarism consist of HGH, T and some others. The studies do no accurately differentiate between T and HGH. They do suggest that HGH should not be considered until a year post injury. Besides, HGH is expensive and often a lifelong therapy.

Hey mark so I had an appointment with a doctor today and I asked about hormones. She said that I could get checked if I wanted but that she "never prescribes hormones for concussion" so she would most likely not perscribe me anything even if I had an imbalance. Does this mean she believes that my hormones may correct themselves naturally?
