My comment about progesterone was about using it during the first few hours after injury. It has neuro-protective functions. Most of the damage from a concussion happens after the impact, not at impact. So, protection from deterioration is beneficial, especially if the Progesterone is administered withing a few hours, similar to stroke treatment.

The other hormones are needed in proper balance for the brain to function correctly.

mhr4, I hope your doc has prescribe Testosterone cream. Oral absorption can be hit and miss. If you get a T cream, you need to apply it to an area where hair does not grow. The lower inside of the bicept/tricept can be good. I put it on a no-hair area of my butt. The Women's International Pharmacy compounded form is made with a safflower oil base that absorbs quickly and is most affordable. Insurance will rarely cover compounded meds, especially hormones, so price can be an issue.

WIP charges $30 for a one month supply of 10% T at 1cc per day. My local compounding pharmacy gets $75 for the same amount. They us a much more expensive compounding base but the WIP formula works great.
