Guest guest Posted March 29, 2004 Report Share Posted March 29, 2004 I had a noggin knock too..... rolled a truck... whipped out the radio that was mounted on the roof of the cab, with my forehead, and starred the windshield with my right cheek bone.. about five years before that, I had a camping trailer slip off a jack and pin my head to the ground... That was fun.... But my thyroid mess up is genetic...

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2004 Report Share Posted March 29, 2004 I think my " thyroid mess up " is genetic too. The commonality of head injuries is just interesting. Maybe hypo leads to accidents rather than accidents leading to hypo. Anyway, head pinned to the ground fun? You're a hoot! Debbie K.

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2004 Report Share Posted March 30, 2004 I was diagnosed hypo before the accident. In my case I doubt being hypo lead to it. The 17 year old girl who broadsided me ran a red light. She was ticketed for that. But it changed my life. Before the accident my memory wasn't bad. Now it's shot. Phooey!!!!!

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2004 Report Share Posted March 30, 2004 Well, my butt was in the air, I was on my knees, when the jack shifted it pinned me.... I was hollering at my friend to get the jack back under and lift it up... then we sat there for a while to see if I was going to pass out or go into convulsions or something... I had a headache but other than that was okay... We had my car with a manual transmission, she couldn't drive it... so it was a VERY slow trip home that day. I drove slow, her right next to me with instructions to grab the wheel and kick my foot off the gas if I passed out... The day I rolled the truck, when I got back to base my boss took me to emergency, I was going into shock. They did a set of head xrays to see if I'd busted anything one my head, since it had busted so much in the truck.... they found nothing broken, only my cheek bone, the one that had busted the windshield had a bone bruise. I asked the dock to check where the trailer had landed and pinned me... was there anything there that showed any damage... he said, nope.. that I had one of the hardest skulls that he'd ever seen. He said from the way I described hitting the windshield, and the angle, that I should have smashed my face.... Good bones... or my hyper state making me 'stronger'???

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2004 Report Share Posted March 30, 2004 It's me, again....still with no time to do this justice (one of these days I *am* going to get it together and have time for important stuff)....and have been having to delete many messages unread because I'm about to have my email bounced because I'm overlimit....so I may be misunderstanding the gist of this thread....however....that said..... Know this was mentioned here before, but wondering if anyone has researched it....empty sella syndrome. Numerous things, including genetics, can cause empty sella....in which the pituitary is shrunken or infarcted (sp?) or otherwise flattened against, or even missing, from the sella turcica. A related disorder, Sheehan's Syndrome, can result from heavy post-partum bleeding. Head injuries are a common cause of empty sella....which is another disorder that docs love to ignore. They seem to think that the pituitary can be almost non-existent and still be functioning adequately. (It's supposed to take a rather high level of intelligence for one to make it through med school....but one does wonder.......perhaps it's the high level of conformity demanded that leads otherwise intelligent human beings to not question training that makes no sense....) > showed any damage... he said, nope.. that I had one of the hardest skulls > that he'd ever seen.
