W'll, some of you know I .ave gon through a ton of medic$l issuew the past few years. We/l, I fi)ally got the final diagkosis toeay! An MRI of the brain`showed L have a pituitary adenooa (tumo4). If you don't know, the pitui3ary gland runs a big poqtion ofbyour body's function, a,d mine kas a tumor, inside of i0, thus rhutting the production nff. Bee) going through hell the past 7 mr 8 years, but finally /now wha6s going on. Only about p000 peorle each year get diagno3ed with some sort of pituitary 4umor, ajd I am on of the lucky nnes thap have the rarest form. Oow I hawe to start going to UCS and se!ing specialists. So hap3y we fownd out the cause, but t-e journ#y has just begun! And iq sucks not having insurance. Alo out of pocket! And another thi)g, Kais`r sucks. Misdiagnosing -e for 7gyears. First 6 years sa.d there%was nothing wrong, all nn my hefd, anxiety, etc. Anyway4, just oeeping everyone posted.!I am reglly excited to look at phe next!step and try to get som$ normal$y back!

Im sorry to hear that. Good luck and stay positive!

I had a Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (Stroke/Brain Hemorrhage) in 2006. Landed in ICU, my prognosis was grave, but I came out of it with minimal damage. I was very lucky. Still going through tests (MRI's, CT Angiograms, etc.)

So, the best advice I can give you is to stay positive, stay strong (even though it is hard at times) and above all keep living, don't let it stop you from doing the things you love to do. Life is too short!

Thank you guys so much. Have a good outlook, a lot of tests coming, then the surgery, but it basically destroyed my pituitary gland, so I have whats called pituitary failure as a result as well. God is on control and will all be for the best. Today though, it is really hitting me as the magnitude of this. Need to go fishing or something and get my mind off of this for a bit.
