Default Hello, questions about PCS and TBI

Hello, I found this site after looking for a memory loss support group online. My husband has had 15+ closed head traumas, most with LOC of different time frames, also has PTSD, and newest a failing pituatary gland.

After reading some posts and doing some research I feel he may have PCS as one of the many things going on. Does anyone else with this have pituatary gland issues? We are being told the gland is most likely damaged due to the numerous CHI's in his life, and that most likely nothing can be done to help "fix" it.

He has cognitive loss, severe (at times) memory loss more short term then long term memory but both are issues, he struggles to find the correct word and sometimes can't find them at all, ADD type symptoms(unable to concentrate, blurts words thoughts etc out), struggles with some basic math, also a lot of times cant remember the workings of a car engine(was/is a mechanic), can have an in depth conversasion with me and 2-5 minutes later not remember speaking to me at all, has stumbled even on my name at this point.

He has done speech pt(to learn coping with loss), helped some at the time. Severe fatigue, insomnia, always cold, headaches. Could go on. I guess want to know if there is anyone else experiencing damage to other brain structures due to there damage.
Sorry for rambling and thank you in advance.

Lisa
Also anyone know of a support group for spouses/caregivers??
