Hello, I hope this find you well. I was wondering if you ever found a reason for the always being hungry?
My brother 44 had a tumor on his pituitary gland and due to complications had two major strokes the largest being on the left side. He has to take hormones long story. The hunger thing totally controls ever min of every day. He also has no short term memory. So no matter how many times we tell him this is what you had. His hunger trumps everything.
Did you find any info??

Hi @brglassworks
Welcome to Connect. I hope that others in this discussion will return to offer advice about hunger and stroke. In the meantime, I also want to let you know about a couple of discussions about pituitary tumors in the Brain Tumor group. Please see:
