Not quite getting you there:

Tsh not rising despite high levo

TSH is expected to drop rather than rise when on high levothyroxine.

I unsure what it's meant to do lol but dr said its not right. The more levo I get my t4 doesn't rise and tsh gets lower. It was 0.03 then 0.02 with a extra 50mg is that right then

I cannot explain why your T4 doesn't rise.

It is so very easy for me to sit here and write. Perhaps you could look at things like this - whatever is or isn't the matter with your pituitary, having the MRI doesn't change it. And it might just help to get any issues identified and treated. Or it might show that you don't have any pituitary issues.

Waiting for any results is worrying, but at least you may be able to cross something off the list, or get treatment. I have been waiting for over 5 weeks for results from a melanoma, to see if I need further treatment. Try and look at it as a positive thing - they are testing, they can treat, and not just shaking their heads and walking away. Good luck and a hug.

Have a look on the Pituitary foundation website for information & support regarding Pituitary conditions. pituitary.org.uk

Really scared now. MRI has picked up something 3mm on the left of the pituitary but they don't know what it is so I have to re MRI again in six months. But surely it can spread if cancer.
