Default Progesterone and nervous system function

Here is an interesting article on the use of progesterone for nervous system/brain injury.

http://www.healthwatchersnews.com/20...ervous-system/

My wife and I were discussing this and wondered if the teen girls with persistent PCS were injured during a low progesterone part of their monthly cycle. Since many young girls are so active that their activity and exercise slows or stops their cycle, does this severe drop in progesterone levels make them more susceptible to PCS?

For women in the peri menopause to post menopause phase of life, the low or nonexistent levels of progesterone may be making their PCS worse. Would a regimen of progesterone therapy help with PCS symptoms? I know by experience that is helps with the mood issues of post menopause. My wife is a shinning example of its benefits.


Here is a link to a source of referrals to good hormone clinicians. www.womensinternational.com
