Pituitary tumor: Share your experiences, side effects, recovery, etc.

I had Cushing's Disease and had a pituitary tumor removed in 2015. They believe I probably had CD for 5-6 years before diagnosis. I, too, was going through menopause at the time and the doctors cited that as the reason for my symptoms over the years. I had many of the symptoms you did. If you read about Cushing's, there are some very definite symptoms associated with it. I was finally diagnosed in 2015 and had surgery. The recovery can be a little difficult because your body has to adjust to the change in hormones. Once that was over, I felt great! I did do physical therapy because I had lost muscle from the disease.
I agree with some of the others in this post - an experienced neurosurgeon and hospital are very important (how many of these have they done?)
Let me know if you have any other questions. Wishing you the best.

@drs22 I thank you for your story, so motivational, I need to have the removal done... you are testimony that healing will come, God's promises are real "this too shall pass✝️."It's frustrating not knowing anything yet in my case, due to lack of technology at the remote local hospital. I am researching potential reputable neurosurgeon who specializes in this procedure. I have never traveled far away, like the U.S. but it's where all the elite Doctors and Surgeons are. I'm nervous, but everyone's stories indicate that there is help available, I too can have a plan just like you all, I will find a team✝️❤️which is priceless, I have a chance to be rid of this. So thankful to you all for sharing, God Bless ✝️ you all from the crowns👑 of your head to the souls of your feet, Amen. Kindest regards, Jillian.🙏✝️🕊️🌍❤️
