Re: CT scan normal - now what?

I'm sorry you have to go through being treated like that. An MRI
probably would have been better. Keep in mind that sometimes
hypopituitarism does not involve tumors, such is my case.
Unfortunately when nothing is found a lot of times the docs don't
think to ask if any head injurys in your past.

Keep pushing. Don't let up. My road took 18 months but I eventually
got help.

You ought to ask for your other pituitary hormones to be tested in
the mean time.

Something else to consider is maybe moving to a big city so as your
diagnosis and treatment will happen sooner. After you are fixed up
(might take 2 or more years)then maybe move back to where you are.
Just a thought.


Hang in there,
Chris
