Pituitary Tumor Symptom Post Surgery
5 months post plurihormonal macroadenoma pituitary tumor surgery and still having symptoms of fatigue, muscle weakness and anxiety . Despite normal blood tests and hormone levels. Taking Lanreotide to treat remaining tumor in sinus cavernous. Has anyone had similar lingering symptoms this far post surgery and if so what did you do to try and get relief. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,
Did you suggest or already have a test on the Lanreotide to make sure the treatment is not causing the fatigue, muscle weakness and anxiety?

Thank you for your response. I have had blood tests since taking the Lanreotide. I’ve had 3 injections since starting 3 months ago and my numbers are within limits while in the Lanreotide. I’m perplexed and disappointed I’m not feeling well 5 months post surgery. Had hoped this would resolve my symptoms. The hyperthyroidism symptoms resolved, sweating, shakes etc, but weakness, fatigue and anxiety remain. Thanks again for the response. Was wondering if this was uncommon. Was looking for some light at end of tunnel.
