So many concussions - it can't be easy. Hyperthyroidism can cause lots of problems. Going to an endocrinologist, as suggested already, is one important first step. Go through the motions, one at a time, give yourself a chance, be good to yourself. Good luck.

i think you need to step back from being a medical professional.

by that i mean don't try to come up with your own diagnoses or treatments. however, use your expertise to do 2 things. journal your own sx's with dates. that may be useful to the physician that sees you. 2nd, use your expertise (about your own body) to find a dr that can be your pcp. that dr should be willing to help you tease apart your sx's and conditions. then that dr could recommend specialists to treat those things.

it seems like you need a very good dr to oversee all that is going on. you would be the head of the team. your drs are also your team members. you need to advocate for yourself. find the 1 excellent dr who's willing to work with you.

i don't want to lecture. after all, you're an adult. but it seems like you might want to evaluate any risky behaviors you're doing so you can minimize further injuries.

i really hope you can get better. please keep in touch with us.

I don't mean to respond to you in particular, but you said it so well...

I have also had multiple concussions in the year following my fall from a horse. Including kicked with a volleyball while sitting 40 feet away reading a book. Knocking head with my brother in a pool because he was trying to catch a ball and didn't see me. Kicked in the head when I was dipped during a waltz by another girl being dipped. My chair slid out from under me and I hit my head on a stand up heater. Slipped on ice going to class twice.

One concussion makes all the little bumps that never bothered us before mean months or sometimes years of pain and suffering. The problem is those bumps can come when we are just doing normal everyday things like watch a sibling or child's soccer game, or walking in the snow and hitting a patch of ice.

The other problem is that the docs all say you will get better in 3-6 months and when that time goes by you start wondering how long it will last. Then after a little while you say "To heck with it, I don't care if I get a headache for three days, I just want to have some fun and go..." Then you hit your head and then it starts all over except worse this time and you see a doc again who still says the same thing. Then it happens again but you don't see the doc.

It is a terrible circle of events. I am going back to college in two weeks. I have had two weeks of almost no headaches because of the drugs my neurologist gave me. But I know that when I get back to school, the stress, the desire to do something fun, and the sleepless nights will make it harder to let the meds to their job and it will also make me more prone to another "bump".

Anyways, there is my little snippet for the day....sorry if I come across as grumpy, I am just having a bad PCS day (first day in two weeks with a splitting headache...Lortab here I come!).

Good Luck All!

Been a year since injury and I am still not functional...I sleep 12 hrs a night and wake up exhausted, always spaced out and just not with it, headaches, noise/light, balance, and I don't think it will ever go away. I feel like I am on another planet. I feel brain injured for life...

seeing some good brain injury docs this week, but I am very sad as I think they will just give me advice on how to cope with the person I have become and the person I have lost...maybe prescribe antidepressant...I cant work or exercise and am goin crazy because of all that I am dealing with...this is torture...I dont think humans were made to tolerate this kind of injury emotionally or physically...it is too much too handle

after goin thru all of this who wouldn't have depression or thoughts of suicide?...

I met another guy who had a similar injury (brain trauma) and he is still not functional 3.5 years later....first months after my bad concussion I was trying to stay positive, but when you dont get better what the heck are you supposed to do???
