So my husband now has hyperthyroidism. We are about a year and a half post concussion. From what I have read pituitary damage is more of a severe tbi thing but his wasn't that. There is no family history. He has to wait 2 months to make it to the endocrinologist. Any thoughts or input? Curious if anyone here has dealt with this and of intervention is different if it it caused by pituitary damage due to a concussion.

I'm know it doesn't have to be a severe brain injury to affect hormone balance and production. Be interesting to hear what the endocrinologist says.

Thanks. I will try to remember to update after the appointment in October. I am hoping anyone who has had a similar issue will post about their experiences.

Brain is linked to every part of our body, so when you mess with the brain you are going to have consequences.
For example my digestive system has been affected, as well as my immune system. And I started having major vision issues.

Went snowmobiling once (didn't hit my head) and concussion symptoms returned and got even worse than before. June 2013 - accidentally bumped my head against a deck railing, and had a month-long setback. November 2013 - drove to work after a big snowstorm and the roads were very rough, ended up having another setback. 2014 - Having setbacks after coughing/sneezing too much, or someone slapping me on the back, or any other significant jarring. Feb 2014 - Started seeing Atlas Orthogonal chiro - most helpful doc so far. June 2014 - Two months of physical/visual therapy - no noticeable improvement. September 2014 - Diagnosed with Perilymph Fistula in right ear. November 2014 - Fistula surgery (switched to left ear before the surgery after additional testing). January 2016 - Quit work to "work" on figuring out PCS, so far it seems that eyes/vision issues are the most contributing factor, especially computer work. Current symptoms are: inconsistent sleep patterns, headaches, vertigo/dizziness, anxiety/panic attacks, mental fog/problems with concentration, problems with computer screens. |

rr, I used to have sweating problems. It was a blood sugar roller coaster. Some SSRI's can also cause sleep sweats and shivering.

Thinking of buying a blood sugar tester so I can test it myself when I have some of these issues and see if there is any relation. I'm not on any meds currently, just an occasional Ambien.
