  • This is an excellent explanation. Thank you for sharing.

  • I had a pituatary tumor removed in Jan/07. Symptoms then were...etreme headachs,loss of mentral cycle,leakage from breast and sight loss in left eye. I had a sucessful surgery and i have had no problems since but.....waiting on blood results.

    I been having etreme headaches daily, that don't go away with tylenol or advil. I have the breast leakage, and no mentral loss but sudden mentral cycle changes. and slight loss of preveral in left eye. Waiting on my doc but I thought i'd pop on net...

  • @south301976 I just had an MRI done and they said they see no Tumor although prolactin levels are off the chart, My Pituitary sits behind my left eye instead in the middle of my head behind my nose like it should I see a spot on it on the MRI that looks like a zit or cyst, Please if anyone is reading this, Please help me this Doctor seems so knowledgeable, I need help, I am slowly dying.

  • God help me I hope someone is reading this, I have something seriously wrong with me, I Do not produce ATCH and they are treating me with Hydrocortisone because I am not producting Cortisol. I have super high prolactin levels, Very Low Testosterone below 100 like 86. I was obese when I contracted An enlarged spleen and Autoimmune hemolytic Anemia in Jan 2009. I am so miserable sick and growing daily I believe that I am getting larger every day, I have gained 200 pounds since diagnosis. HELP

  • Can you be my doctor?? LOL

  • This is the best explanation that I have heard yet so far. I am sick and tired of my pituitary tumor and no wonder why I feel like crap!!! This sucks!!
