Default Progesterone Treatment For Traumtic Brain Injury

Hey Everyone,

Mark's comment on progesterone caused me to do some research on it as a possible treatment. So, I found this article that I thought ya'll would want to read. I have spoken with my doctor about this and he is going to try me on it and see what happens. He also said that most of the research has been done on acute brain injuries but, he added that it could possibly help chronic pcs as well. After some blood tests, he also discovered that I am deficient in testosterone and growth hormone, which he is putting me on as well. I also have an mri scheduled and a contrast cat scan of my spinal canal to see if I have a CSF leak. He is investigating this because he believes that I either destroyed my pituitary gland, my pituitary gland has a tumor on it or that I have a CSF leak somewhere. He said that it is not uncommon for someone with a leak to have their pituitary sit on the base of their skull and therefore, disrupt proper functioning. I'll keep you guys informed and hopefully ya'll can use this information to treat yourselves.
