As stated before, let us know more details on the type of tumor, and we can see if we can give you more specific help.

Glad you made your way over here, Mommies4!  Here's your link to conversation so far on this thread: http://www.medhelp.org/posts/Neurology/BIH--PITUITARY-NODULE-AND-THYROID---CRONIC-PAIN/show/1322157?personal_page_id=862335
including your response to rumpled.

It would be good, mommies4, if you can get a copy of your radiological report stating the size of the nodule on your pituitary.  The small tumors, smaller than 1 cm are known as microadenomas.  The larger tumors, often called non-functioning, 1 cm or larger are called macroadenomas.  

Hopefully you will have a better picture as to whether your tumor is affecting any of your pituitary hormones adversely.  The fact you are having symptoms such as you described makes me think you might be having some hormonal abnormalities.  Let us know what your lab tests reveal?
