My daughter had a pituitary adenoma, , causing Cushing’s disease. She had most of your symptoms plus others.
After surgery, the symptoms disappeared.
Make sure you get a neurosurgeon specializing in pituitary tumors. Not all do.

@astaingegerdm Thank you. that gives me hope. Right now my quality of life is not very good.
I researched Neurosurgeons as soon as I got the diagnosis and found one that does specialize in pituitary tumors and has a good rating and I figure that is the best I can do. I’m just going to keep praying that I’ve made the right choice and that there is a normal life for me after this surgery. I just want to feel normal again.
