Hi Minnie:
My hormones are very much askew at this point but my endo is changing them
to see if the adjustment will help me feel better. I'm not sure why
everything kind of went haywire but he is upping my growth hormone, lowering
my estrogen, and switching me from Armour to Synthroid and Cytomel. I have
an ENT appt. in a few days to see what will happen with the cyst in the
sphenoid sinus. The pituitary cyst is very small (3 mm) and I don't think
the endo mentioned that there was calcification. My previous MRI was four
years ago and I don't think there was anything in it regarding a cyst. I
also have a place in the brain that keeps showing up as a white area of
"signal intensity" but nobody ever talks about it. Since the endo is taking
a "wait and see" position on the pituitary cyst, I guess I figured that it
couldn't be something too bad. I hope that's true! Kathryn

Hi Katheryn, So your endo says you have a pituitary cyst? I know that
the cysts are supposed to show up differently with imaging than pituitary
tumors. I believe I read that some cycts acually show up with calcifiation
on the images. How is your hormonal health? Do they have images to compare
the cyst for growth? Yeah, your ENT will remove the sinus cyst (in most
cases). It is good to hear from you. I'm sorry to hear about your ill
hubby. Send him our best! Minnie
