Living with Panhypopituitary (no pituitary function) and Apathy
My pituitary function is gone due to a macro-adenoma. I had transsphenoidal surgery for removal in 2013. I am on various hormone supplements and am steroid dependent. Getting full treatments has been an ongoing journey. I feel pretty good physically, but cannot get past the feeling of apathy. I am Not Depressed! I don’t feel hopeless, or sad and I have a loving and caring spouse. But, I have changed. I was outgoing, had lots of friends, many interests and kept busy, busy, busy! (My profession was an Activity Director!) have dropped so many interests, my creativity is all but gone and the worst, is that I have become detached from relationships. It makes me so sad because I am a shell of the person I was and I don’t know how to fix it.
