Have you had your hormones tested? Seems a likely culprit, or at least a contributor.
All I really know about rage and PCS is that our doc sent my daughter for psych testing for depression and "irrational rage" as a precaution...said everyone should be screened following head injury. I haven't seen too much of these feelings/behaviors in her, but I think if she would have felt better physically earlier on we might have all had reason to fear for our lives.
The sound of cutlery touching anything else made her angry...you should see how strange I look loading the dishwasher trying to be silent, even now that she doesn't complain about that anymore. The other day she said, "why are you doing that? you look silly."

Just a thought... I have used unloading the dishwasher, specifically cutlery as a measure of improvement. For a long time, I couldn't put the cutlery away by just dropping it into the drawer because my ears were too sensitive and would almost shudder due to the sharp noise of it. My ears are still very sensitive, but recently I noticed that I was dropping cutlery in without even thinking about my ears, and then realised it wasn't having the same effect. Maybe I just had a good day, I'm not sure and need to test it out some more, but may be an idea to consider because measuring improvement as you no doubt know is very difficult.
