Can you help me. I'm 59 yr. women. I have a pituitary Gland Tumor, 6mm mass. I've been complaining about feeling bad for almost a year now. I seem to have all the symptoms of hormones and loss of eyesight. My Neuropthmalogist recently telling me I am progressively loosing my eyesight. I do have diabetes, LUPUS, RA, Peripheral Neuropathy very bad and other autoimmune disorders. I now see double, people laugh at me. I sweat from head to toe mostly at night buy not always. I have been sick pretty much for my whole life since 17 with LUPUS. I've started to go unconcious recently. Not even realizeing it's happening. Sometimes someone will stir me and I wake up not knowing what had happened. Now my liscence has been taken away for 6 mos., because of fainting. I am a female and at 50 had a complete historectomy, everything, and yet sometimes I feel like my breasts are hard as a rock and I feel pregnant. I haven't felt comfortable with certain doctors or hospitals near me. I live in Mass. Some of the older doctors seem to me have not been keeping up to the newest technology and diagnoses. I can't stay in my apt. for the rest of my life, when I am an artist, and Computer person. I can't walk without aide, incase I fall or faint.
Hi, you need to find a doctor who will treat you! You probably need the tumor removed. If you will go to http://cushings.invisionzone.com/index.php and join, you will find a lot of supportive, helpful folks. Most of us have had to travel to get the help we need, so we understand!
Lucky you to be in Mass! Dr. Edward Laws is in Boston. Google him!! I was told I was not operable, amongst other issues. He did my surgery, answered questions other doctors couldn't or wouldn't. Good luck on your journey!!
Hi there! Keep it up! This is a good read. I will be looking forward to visit your page again and for your other posts as well. Thank you for sharing your thoughts about pituitary tumor. I am glad to stop by your site and know more about pituitary tumor. Most tumours are benign but are quite serious because of their position close to important brain structures. Because the pituitary gland is responsible for the production of hormones key to proper body function, tumors often interfere with this production—either by limiting the amount of hormone produced or generating excessive amounts. Growth hormone (regulates body height and structure), prolactin (controls lactation, or milk production), sex hormones (control the menstrual cycle and other sexual functions), thyroid gland hormones (control the thyroid gland), adrenal gland hormones, and vasopressin (a hormone involved in water and electrolyte balance) are all examples of hormones that can be affected. Growing tumors can also push on surrounding structures, often resulting in headaches, behavioral changes, and vision problems.
