SmilinEyes,

What you have experienced from your neurologist is quite normal. Neurologists are often quick to discount concussion issues. If they cannot image it with a CT scan, MRI, EEG etc. They decide it does not exist.

All for your issues could be hormone related. Specifically thyroid and maybe the sex hormones.

It is unlikely that you will find a neurologist who is any better. There are very few neuros who really understand concussion.

A physiatrist may be helpful but it is a crap shoot. You will find them listed under Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine or vice versa. A physiatrist may be able to diagnose any lingering upper neck injury that has gone untreated.

Welcome to the club. Almost all of us have been where you are right now.

Yes, it is all in your head. Except it is physiologically in your head, not psychologically. Doctors just tend to get that mixed up.

My best to you.
