Thanks for putting my post into the appropriate place. I’ve had Panhypopituitarism for a long time - it took nearly ten years to get it diagnosed. I saw a great many doctors and finally got the diagnosis in Boston at Mass. General Hospital in January 2000. I am very grateful to them. This disease is very rare and it was determined that mine may have evolved from trauma to the head. I’ve since gotten other health issues like severe osteoporosis, chronic kidney disease, TAVR aortic valve replacement, etc. The osteoporosis made such a mess of my back that I had to have back surgery. Unfortunately, an error occurred during the surgery and I was left with more pain than I had prior to the procedure. I would love to return to the years when I was free of pain and free to live a normal life.
