Default Hormones

This is what I meant by symptoms. If you notice your concussion symptoms getting better or worse at certain times in your monthly cycle I THINK (?) this is a clue to you that your hormones might be out of whack. Hormone imbalances, I have learned, are not uncommon in people with lingering PCS symptoms.
