Here's the answer to your question shit face:
http://ehealthforum.com/blogs/marier...at-b28401.html
Research shows that in the months and years after a brain injury, its not only more common to gain weight than it is to lose weight, but it also becomes more difficult to shed the pounds. The problem might be directly related to the brain injury. Heres how:
Hormones
The hypothalamic-pituitary axis is a part of the brain responsible for producing and distributing hormones. Damage to it can result in hypopituitarism, which is a decrease in hormone levels. Depending on where the damage is, this could lead to hypothyroidism or a growth hormone deficiencyboth of which can cause weight gain.
Hypopituitarism is relatively common after a brain injury. If theres unexplained weight gain after a brain injury, theres a good chance its hormonal. Hormone-related weight gain will seem to come from nowhere. It will feel frustratingyouve made no changes to your eating habits, and yet the scale keeps going up. And trying to lose weight will be like trying to scratch your way through a brick wall.
Fortunately, hormone deficiencies can be treated and sometimes this treatment is enough to break though that brick wall. But youll have to talk to your doctor about getting a comprehensive hormone test or a referral to an endocrinologist. Many doctors will know that a brain injury can cause hormone problems, but you might encounter some reluctance if you have a milder brain injury or concussion. Although chronic hormone deficiencies are more common after severe brain injuries, milder brain injuries can cause hormone changes too.

"I haven't threatened anyone- I come here to have a serious debate and in return get called names and have sexual and/or gay innuendos thrown my way. I basically have told these guys to walk the walk- if we were discussing this in the street I highly doubt they would call me any names for the obvious reasons.Secondly, do you have any clue of what "disabled" veteran encompasses? It doesn't mean I am in a wheelchair or missing a leg. I do have slight battles of PTSS and have awful migraines as a result of shrapnel which was removed a few inches from my brain."
Now, Big Boy, where is that "gland" ... ???? "hypothalamic-pituitary" gland!!
