Hello @zurchmom and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I think it is pretty normal to wonder if a diagnosis is right or not based on what you know as your full symptoms and history.
I wanted to let you know that I have moved your post into an existing discussion I found with other members discussing the same topic, which you can find here:
- Empty Sella Syndrome: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/empty-sella-syndrome/
Members such as @jwillits8 and @jmb73 may be able to come back in to share their experiences with you.
Have you considered a second opinion for some additional reassurance before you start the medication?

I most definitely have, however, the neurologist is firm in her belief that this is not a pituitary issue but a migraine issue. I’m asking to see a endocrinologist since many of my long gone menopause symptoms have returned since I was hurt. There are difficulties since workers comp is paying the bill. I have called TRICARE Insurance for guidance. I just fail to believe a flattened/smaller pituitary gland isn’t playing some part in all of this. It’s not implausible that several things may be playing a part. Thank you for getting back with me so quickly.
