Aww,iam so sorry to hear that you endured all that.Ive been through a lot of emotional stress which I believe triggered my fibro,I was told by a private doctor that this was probably the case.It is quite probable that in your case the head injury could have been the trigger x

stress or trauma can be a contributing factor.

I believe it's still relatively unknown as to what the exact causes are.
