I have posted a few comments in regards to a recent diagnosis of a pituitary tumor. i am really frustrated and am unsure as to what step to take from here. i am only 24 yrs old and have a 2 yr old son... i was told on jan31 of this year that a pituitary tumor showed up on my MRI. my neuro sent me to a NS who then sent me to get yet another MRI, along with hormone blood work. I originally went to the doc due to headaches, numbness in my arm and blurry vision. My neuro initially looked for MS lesions and claimed this as an "accidental finding". after a 3 wk wait for my results i finally heard from NS - well, his nurse - and she said my blood work was fine and although my dr did find a small sign of a micro-adenoma we will sit and wait and in six mths have another scan. I have a few issues with this "diagnosis". First of all i feel "mislead" due to the fact that i called 3 times for my results and was told i'd get a call back - but recieved nothing. was promised my dr would call - he never did. The nurse AND receptionists all claimed how busy my doctor has been and i'm worried he may have "rushed" thru this. Not to mention when i got my blood drawn, the lady that did this was TERRIBLE. My nurse told me i did not have to fast or anything before my blood work. was this correct? could this have to do with anything not showing up? The issue i am having is that my dr never asked me about ANY of my symptoms during my visit and (to me) this is a big deal now bc this is turning out to be a big burden on my life. My headaches are debilitating at times and i am sometimes so weak i can't carry my own son. I have many symptoms of a hormone "problem" - dry skin, mood swings, irregular period, blurry/cloudy vision, hair falling out, milk leakage, can't stand the cold...gosh, the list goes on! i am really frustrated and i apologize for my rambling. any advice will help. should i seek another opinion? i was thinking vanderbilt pituitary center? I requested my results be faxed to my work, so i hopefully will get actual numbers on monday. Six months to "wait" seems so far, especially with the pain i have been in. any advice/tips will help!!! thanks
