----------------------------------------------------------- New Message on Pituitary Chat
----------------------------------------------------------- From: leesa11037 Message 1 in Discussion I'm a new member and i posted my story in the wrong place. Getting use to this now. I had a 5-6mm pituitary tumor removed in Jan of 2007. I had alot of complications after the surgery just wondering if anyone else went through what i did. Four days after my surgery I went back to the doctors to have stents removed from both my nostrils which i was never told about before the surgery.The next day I sneezed two times and started to hemorrage from my nose and mouth until I passed out in front of my ten and four year old. My kitchen was full of blood. I was released from the hospital told that the ct scan showed a half a mm mass which was most likely scar tissue. ok with that i went home not knowing any better. A few days later i had alittle pressure in my left temple went to ER they did a cat scan angiogram. It showed an 8x10 anerysm in my carotid artery.Emergency surgery was performed placing 8 coils in my head. After the surgery Iwas told I needed 2 units of blood (that I should have gotten when i bled the week before). After all of this I asked my surgeon for my pathology report and he kept telling me he was going to get it. So my endo called the hospital and they told her that the surgeons didnt write to stain it and it was to late to do so now. As of today i just found out a few weeks ago i have a sinus disease i have been suferring with since alittle bit after the surgery and it took me almost passing out for them to treat it or even tell me about it.My husband couldnt deal with all of this so we are recently seperated and i continue to deal with the swelling , sweating,oily skin, fatigue,depression at times , acne,drinking alot in the middle of the night,craving sweets at night, high testosterone levels, loosing my hair, rising Igf-1 levels,mood swings and no answers. My doctor is puzzled and doesnt know what to do for me at this point. My MRIs have shown no tumor since after the surgery so what is going on ?????????????Is there a light at the end of this tunnel because i have kept my head as high as i can get it and continue to take care of my children and work but i need some relief. Please if anyone has any answers write back. Sorry so long but i feel this is the place to do it. THANKS and good luck to everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ----------------------------------------------------------- To stop getting this e-mail, or change how often it arrives, go to your E-mail Settings. http://groups.msn.com/PituitaryChat/_emailsettings.msnw Need help?
