Pituitary Microanodema

Hello All,

Found out I have hypothyroidism and a MRI shows the possibility of a microanodema but need a more focused MRI and lab test to be sure. Was hoping to hear if anyone has or had one and any tips with going about it or just their experience in general. Feel free to message directly if you prefer.

Gotcha. Are they monitoring your microanodema with yearly MRIs?

Yeah, I read that sometimes they are nothing to worry about. Listening to a interview of doctors who deal with pituitary tumors. 1/5 people have them but might not cause issues during their lifespan.

No I asked endocrine for another one but they said no but in Athens they said every 3 years. I suppose it's just not worth it with NHS issues n me having the hashimoto thyroiditis n ME etc but the scan was the noisiest thing ever. I have weird hormones poor levels but it's ok I can't say I know but try HRT regularly enough it's a rough 20 years overall

Just had pelvic MRI but doesnt seem to do anything and I'm on waiting list for endocrinologist.......but T3 can't get a script and knackered without it

What will u do ? If u get headaches or eye issues could be tumour but not likely how's your health?

it’s going alright. I also have hashimoto’s. Starting feeling funky in June (constant wobbly feeling like being tipsy (buzzed) all the time except for when I’m sitting). Once I found out I had hypothyroid they gave me Levo and started T3. Seems to help a little but we are still trouble shooting my dosage.

Trying to see a endocrinologist in my state, in the US, just is months out to start doing whatever tests they have to do.

Essentially just tipsy feeling most days and softer stools. However I think the stress that I have had from this hasn’t been the greatest for me.
