Just been diagnosed with a Pituitary Macroadenoma

[ashurrutia]

Update:

All but one of my hormone tests came back.

Cortisol(Adrenal), TSH-T4-FreeT4(Thyroid), Prolactin, Testosterone.

Everything is normal.

Still waiting on growth hormone, but Doc says that it looks like it is non-functioning.

Well simply ask your Doctor to do a prolactin test on you, have you had a kid recently? If not, lactating does indicate high levels of prolactin, but in any case there is nothing to worry about, even if you were to have it, Prolactilomas are easily treatable with medications, and they do not require surgery, and often times shrink with meds. Now, that is, if you have it. I ended up changing neurologists, as my neurologist made such a big deal(She had her secretary call me up on Friday at 8:00 am to set up an appointment with her to go over the MRI, then again call me to order some test, and then referred me to a Neurosurgeon, and made it seem like it was life or death situation, when in fact it wasn't. The Neurosurgeon was a lot more understanding than her, and even told me that I had nothing to worry about) out of it that completely brought upon old anxiety stuff, and since this is the second time (Last time, I ended up at the ER because of her) she does that, I decided to change to another person.
