Hi Lucy, I've been following your online progress with interest. Just one point. Keep those hydrocortisone tablets handy. Check out the symptoms for adrenal crisis. I'm a pituitary patient and it is standard procedure in the UK that you keep going with hydrocortisone after the surgery for some time as the risk of crisis is very high. Look online for post-surgical protocols which will bear out what I say. Also, the very best site for pituitary patients is the Pituitary Foundation in the UK. It has a comprehensive collection of information.
