hi
i am still waiting to have an mri next week and have been having severe one sided headaches for just over a year.
Migraine, paroxysmal hemicrania and contraceptive issues have been ruled out.
The mri is to look at my pituitary gland
i have been having some new problems am unsure if they are relevant??

i have been sweating a lot  (very unpleasant) and have been suffering from insomnia (only had about an hours sleep last night) i am also quite shaky and been having palpitations occasionally, i have slight hair loss and have lost some weight recently. i am also having difficulties with concentration.
I have had my thyroid checked and that came back normal
any help would be much appreciated

Any way to get numbers? Normal is eh... not telling you much in reality as you don't know how much and what he tested and I found out later that my lovely docs told me normal and I was... not.

Hypothyroidism runs in my family too.

Besides the MRI - any lab testing? The MRI may find something on your pituitary, or may not (it has to be done properly as well).

What thyroid tests were done? If is was TSH and T4 - the standard panel - the doc did not even test your thyroid IMHO.. but what were the results? Any antibodies, free thyroid tests? Is this a endocrinologist?

It will be the labs that tell it all - with or without the MRI (the labs tell what type of lesion it is) so ask the doc for more testing.
