My New GP has seen me (that was an effort!) Did some basic Neurological assessments. Balance, sensation, finger tracking etc. Together with usual temperature, pulse and BP. Low temp and slow pulse didn't register! But I'm off for another Brain MRI!
Question; Will an MRI reveal Central, i.e., any pituitary , Hypothalamus issues, even if the GP doesn't specifically request a concentration in that area? TSH within range and Pituitary issues being rare, still seemed to pre-determine his scope for investigation!
I have other issues developing which seem to point in that direction. e.g vision and bladder.
My Optician tells me that a field test often reveals Pituitary issues due to the proximity of the optic nerves, and he is happy to roll out his kit, to confirm, or otherwise, the results of the MRI.
The bladder issues can be down to a failure of the posterior Pituitary failing to produce ADH, due to inter-related causes.
