Thanks! I had a traumatic brain injury as an infant and am just now researching the possible connection to health issues I’ve had and that I have now. Its quite overwhelming to learn that even chronic stress, ADHD-like symptoms and gut issues may be connected to my brain injury! Thank you for sharing your experience! Gillian

@gillianu - welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I'm so sorry to hear about a traumatic brain injury you had as an infant. It sounds wise that you are now researching any possible connection between this and health issues you've had.

Wondering if you'd share more about what occurred with the traumatic brain injury as an infant, if it's something you are comfortable sharing? Also curious what your primary care provider or a neurologist may have said about any connection between the injury as a baby and subsequent health issues you've had?
