Hello,
Yes as you suspected I too really suggest you get yourself to a Doctor to get checked out.
My Hubby had a Pituitary Tumour and it was affecting him in many ways. We was very lucky in that we got straight on to it straight away. He went through quite a few tests to finally work out what was wrong, but it was such a relief to finally find out the problem. He had this non-cancerous growth removed last Christmas and is now on hormones to compensate for the damage to his pituitary. He takes Cortisone, Thyroxine and Testosterone and is pretty healthy these days as long as he takes his medications. He felt like a new person, once he was on the medications he needed. I cant emphasise enough to you what a waste of your quality of life to keep going on as you are without going to a Doctor for a chat and some tests to find out what is going on.
Wishing you all the best

This sounds really stupid. I was in year 7 at school and it started in a german lesson and i had the biggest headache ever which lasted for about 2 days. I was about 12 or near that. Thought it was just a migrane. Things got a little bit better but now and then i felt a little bit dizzy. And the back of my eyes used to really hurt like hell behind the eyes like they were bruised. this stopped after a while. I noticed people starting to change in year 8 and 9 and i know this sounds really stupid but i thought i wouldnt grow up like the other people. I did get a lot of headaches and i kept wanting to go to the doctors but i kept putting it off and off cos i didnt want it to be anything serious. Im a very anxious person and i worry so much! But i heard that pituaitary problems can cause anxiety! So time passed and i guess my body was changing but so slowly. Got
to year 10 and moved school. The new people in my school looked so grown up to my previous one and i looked so young. Headaches came and went. And felt dizzy again some times. I got used to the fact that i probably had something wrong with me but i didnt want to go to see anyone about it. My parents split up my dads mum died of a brain tumour just had a little sister, dad i was on anti depressions after mum and dad split up so i felt timing was so wrong. So year 11 came still looked young! And another year passed. Headaches started to go now. I didnt have them anymore. Came to college and things were ok i guess. Used to sweat so much under my arms for no reason though, and i mean buckets of sweat. I dont know if it is me but my testis seem like that a quite small but not that bad and my nipples seem really small too. I never take my shirt off or show my body cos im really
embarressed. My facial hair is not too much, just on the chin and above the lip, not any sideburn hair. I got excessive hair under my arm lol. And i got hair in other places. Though my leg hair isnt really dark but i got a lot of it. Im naturally a blonde person so i guess thats what its like. Anyway years passed now im 20 i guess i can pass for 18 but i still look really young, i do get the odd headaches but puberty seems halted. I know it doesnt take an einstien to know i have something wrong with me but every year i feel ive left it too long. Im way too nervous to go to the doctor cos i know what he will say. Imagine leaving it for 8 years? You know certainly its going to be big and i will be terminal or something. I live with my dad on our own and i love him to bits and dont want to make him worry and i dont want to go get scans have blood tests etc. But now im 20 things
just dont seem to be moving. Its so hard. I know most of you are going to say get down to the doctors now. In the last couple of months ive really been thinking about it and have been reading all about pituitary. Im going to have to do something. I just need some helps and advice before i go forward with things. I have such a loving dad who couldnt go through something like that again and i have such a lovely little 11 year old sister who loves me to bits as i do. Its really hard im starting to struggle through life now. I just know when i go doctors hes going to have a go at me for keeping it so long. I really cant go through with the scans on my brain though, how scarey is that! 8 years is a long time for a tumour. Do you think if i get diagnosed i will be terminal or what? Plz help before i go get help i would really like your advice. I really am scared.
Thanks.
(Plz note i really want to keep this confidential and this ip isnt even mine its at a library so please dont attempt to contact anyone through it cos my isp is totally different, i want to keep this personal for the time being though, thank you) | |
