you need to be specific. Tell him that you need a referral to a physiatrist in order to better manage your concussion. Also, tell him that there is hard and fast up to date evidence that concussions mess with hormones because it messes with the pituitary gland...
i would start calling around if no action on that front and find a GP who has had some experience with PCS, and knows what referrals to make.

When resting, symptoms are low. With exertion, I still suffer from fatigue, migraines, vision problems, problems thinking or reading, troubles sleeping, issues finding or getting words to my mouth when the headaches are bad, tinnitus, and thyroid issues which I think are due to the concussion. Seen one specialist, and now a few others through insurance review of my case. Hoping for further treatment.
