For the past month or so i have been feeling extrememly run down and wiped out. I returned to work 2 months ago and now am in my 5th month post TBI. My doctor ran a ton of tests including one for mono to see why im so fatigued. Turns out I am also Hypothyroid now. I compared old lab tests from this summer in July where my thyroxine was low and my TSH was normal. Now my thyroxine is low and my TSH has increased by 5 times showing that i am now clinically hypothryroid because my pituitary is working over time trying to make my thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). Does this have anything to do with my brain injury or just coincidental?

My doc is putting me on Levoxyl to treat the hypothyroidism and hoping i will regain some of my energy and be less fatigued. Sometimes i dont know what is my PCS or something else. Also, as a side note, i havent had a period in 5 months since the accident. Is it the hypothyroid that is causing this or the PCS?
