3cm pituitary tumor
Hi! i’ve been having symptoms of cushings since around June. Cortisol levels kept coming back high & after months of testing they finally found a 3cm lesion on my pituitary gland after getting an MRI with contrast done. This all seems like it happened overnight. My symptoms including moon face, rapid weight gain, buffalo hump, acne, pain in my eyes, neck pain, body inflammation, teeth grinding, hair thinning, hot flashes, very irritable & just overall weakness & tiredness. Not looking or feeling like myself at all. I’m a week out from my IPSS sampling procedure & waiting on results to see if i need this removed. Scared about the removal but at the same time hoping i need it removed so i can feel and look like myself again 🙏
