New Message on Pituitary Chat Prolactinoma - Craniotomy with Endocrine Issues Reply   Recommend Message 9 in Discussion From: PTResearcher2 Hi Jen,   Glad to hear that you are feeling a lil better. It sounds like your doctor is on the right track to balancing your hormones. I hope she prescribes growth hormone soon, as well. I know you will feel even better once you have growth hormone replacement. I don't know why she would wait to replace the GH since she knows it is low. Sometimes GH can be a battle to get because it is very expensive and some insurance companies balk on paying for it. I will include some links about GH and replacement and why it is needed.   It sounds like you hava wonderful hairdresser, he sounds like a godsend! Your incision does not sound bad at all-it is nice that he kept it in the hairline. Glad you like your new haircut!   I have not had DI, but there are many patients on here that had DI as a result of surgery. It is fairly common. I don't know what is recommended to drink, but gatorade restores your electrolytes and sodium. You may want to try sports drinks. I drink gatorade daily to increase my electrolytes because when they are low, I get very dizzy and weak.   I hope you are feeling even better. Take care.   Meri   Links about GH:   GH Deficiency: http://www.hgfound.org/adulthormonetherapy.htm   http://www.emedicine.com/med/topic930.htm   http://pituitary.org/disorders/gh_deficiency.aspx   http://pituitary.mgh.harvard.edu/NCBV11I1.htm#GHD   http://www.labtestsonline.org/understanding/analytes/growth_hormone/test.html   http://www.magicfoundation.org/www/docs/105.22/   http://www.magicfoundation.org/www/docs/105.21/     GH: http://www.magicfoundation.org/www/docs/105/adult_growth_hormone_deficiency.html   http://www.fleshandbones.com/readingroom/pdf/470.pdf     GH Replacement: Human growth hormone (Humatrope, Genotropin, Nutropin)   http://magic.truepresence.com/www/docs/151/growth_hormone_faq.html View other groups in this category.
