Exclamation Free Webinar- hypothalamic-pituitary dysfunction with head injury-October 23, 2014

As some of you know, I sustained a concussion in an MVA over 4 years ago which caused pituitary dysfunction and subsequently hormone deficiencies and now I take supplemental hormones every day so that I can function again.

I'm a member of an educational group called the Pituitary Network Association (PNA). The organization's mission is to educate Dr.'s, medical professionals, patients and the public about pituitary-related illnesses, such as pituitary dysfunction caused by concussion, since most pituitary-related illnesses are under-diagnosed, under-recognized, and misdiagnosed. Hormone deficiencies are horrible for patients because it severely reduces their quality of life (QOL) and sad because their QOL could improve significantly with treatment.

The PNA is hosting a FREE webinar that I think it might help to answer some of your questions about this kind of thing:

Webinar: Hypothalamic Pituitary Dysfunction in Young Athletes with Head Injury (THI)

Presented by
Saad Sakkal, MD, FACP, FACE, FACPE
Director, Metabolic Care Center, Mason, Ohio

After registering you will receive a confirmation email with details about joining the webinar.

Contact us at webinar@pituitary.org with any questions.

Date: October 23, 2014
Time: 12:00 - 1:00 PM Pacific Daylight Time

Although this particular webinar is geared towards young athletes, I believe some of the information will be relevant to our own situations. I've read a theory written by several researchers and experts that a good number of cases of post concussion syndrome (PCS) are actually undiagnosed pituitary problems that were triggered or caused by the brain trauma and therefore the patients with ongoing and/or severe PCS (+1 year) have a strong possibility of improvement if they received proper diagnosis and treatment for any hormone deficiencies that they might suffer from.

bumping this up although I thought parts of it would be able to be viewed even now but apparently not?

I found their Webinar Library in Knowledge Base, however I am unable at this time to find the relevant topic.
One may need to be a member to view.

and

adding this thread from EsthersDoll for information for other members
