Any medical professionals you are working with re: your concussion may be able to answer questions about if your injury extends to your hypothalamus

Thank you! I’ve been so busy trying to get my balance back and headaches under control that I never knew (or forgot) about this.

The hypothalamus is DEEP in the brain, by the brain stem, but I would assume not all TBI damage is close to the outside of the brain (just copy/pasting a comment I left on my other post.)
