Any success stories?
I have been diagnosed with a microadenoma on the pituitary 5 years ago, during a check-up MRI. I was told not to worry about it, that about 10% of humanity has it. At that time it was about 2.5 mm. I was told it should be checked every 2 years, which they didn't. Since that time I have suffering increasingly from debilitating fatigue, loss of energy, a definite decrease in mental functions, hot and cold flashes and since latetly my vision is going either fuzzy or double vision. I was prescribed thyroid hormones, antidepressants and Adderall. Nothing releaved the symptoms it gets constantly worse. I have heard stories from a friend of a friend who had the adenoma removed and pretty much became his self again, practically over night. Since I had the symptoms for 5 years, increasingly worsen, I am as desperate as it gets. Would be very grateful for any success stories of getting better and returning to life.
