I am 4 months post TBI and still havent gotten my period. My doctors checked an HCG to make sure i wasnt pregnant (which i knew i wasnt). They said it will just take time to heal before i start getting it again. Anyone have this problem?

No, but that's a side effect I could live with Do you still have any PMS-like symptoms? Backache, cramps?

I never get PMS type symptoms except for maybe some bloating. I am definetly ok with not getting it, except it gives me anxiety because i always wait for a week for it to come when i take the sugar pills and it never does.

nightnurse,
It might be worth finding a good women's health/hormone specialist to check you out. All hormones are regulated in the brain. A dysfunction could be causing other symptoms. Check out https://www.womensinternational.com/..._referral.html for a good referral in your area. Your BC pills may be not right for you while you are still healing. btw, I am a serious believer in women getting good hormone advice beyond the generic advice from most OB/GYN's. It changed my wife back into the woman I married 31 years ago. Bad hormones make for poor stress tolerance. My best to you.

cheergirl...i had the neuro tell me the same thing...actually his words were "you have a deep rooted anxiety problem that manifested itself now" HA! Then why does going on the computer and watching tv bother me?? Why can't I tolerate doing very much...reading without getting exhausted?
I agree...I have anxiety...who the hell wouldn't with a laundry list of symptoms that come on from daily living??? |

He got annoyed when i mentioned MBTI and angrily asked where I heard about it and point blank refused to answer 4xs when I asked how it was diagnosed... Not a nice person... I guess when you think you are second only to god himself with your education and opinions, you lose something else. I thought he was a jerk and take no more notice of his opinion, than he did of mine... Being a doctor or consultant and having no clue about a condition in whch is supposedly your field of expertise must be more terrifying for them than me... so glad I am not the only one this happened to... |
