Just to make the guys on the board blush....ladies, have you noticed post-concussion that PMS is way stronger? i never even noticed it before. now it triggers deeper depression, more crying, etc. but i guess i have fewer distractions and more problems to ruminate on.
this too shall pass, right?

Yes, I would agree.
There was a strong feeling of relief/less tension when it was over. |

Maybe not PMS but you can go through male menopause. You may have to put up with someone else's PMS. That can be bad enough.

Oh yeah! It sucks the life out of me, and I was never bothered by it before. It makes me so tired and emotional! My partner describes me as a zombie during this time and is oh so relieved when the time of the month passes.

Yes and my headaches get worse... even more reason to think that there is a hormonal component...
and men... dealing with a woman with PMS may be far worse than the PMS itself...

The Start: MVA, t-boned, on 1-12-14 (my sons 5th birthday) and did not think anything of it.. my back hurt on site but everything else seemed ok. Lost about 10-12 hours from about 3 hours after the accident to the next day...Experienced terrible brain fog for over a month, plus intense headaches, nausea, dizziness, cognitive difficulties, disorientation, no short term memory, depression and just an overall hangover feeling daily. Current Situation: I'm about 7 months in and my local neurologist has waived her white flag and therefore I am headed to Dallas to be seen (I have family there). The headaches are still daily. I have nausea, dizziness as well. Drugs I have been on- Vicodin (off), Naproxen (off), proanolol (off), topamax (off), cataflam (off), Midrin (off), Flexeril (off) and now Namenda XR (off), Nortrptylin (off), Verapamil (off) Therapy- Osteopath, Vestibular and balance therapy, fuzion/soft tissue massage, acupuncture Drs- ER (no help), GP, Chiropractor, Neurologist and Osteopath |

thank you so much for helping me feel a bit more normal!
and sorry guys, but i think PMS+Head injury are worse for the woman than the man. i do hope my hormones reset as i heal.
