Sorry, I must have missed your question.  

In all of your attempts to get help, did anyone ever ask you about possible chronic infections?  These can really cause havoc in your endocrine system.  For example, thyroiditis is much more common than generally thought and produces abnormal thyroid hormone levels, and pancreatitis causes many diabetes-like symptoms.  Although pituitary infections are considered relatively rare, they are much more common than previously thought, and they can contribute to altered pituitary hormone levels.  

The mass on your pituitary could be a cyst rather than a tumor, especially if it has not grown significantly over time.  Cysts can be caused by infection and the immune responses that are produced against infection.
