Talk:Pituitary adenoma

message: There is another article, Pituitary tumour, that appears to me to be a poor copy if this one. Its style is encyclopaedic, its content amateur and poorly cited. A proposal in 2014  to redirect it to this one did not achieve consensus (but only three editors participated). I have raised the proposal again: see talk: pituitary tumour. Please comment there.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.97.11.54 (talk) 11:00, 20 November 2016 (UTC)
thread_title: Proposal to redirect 'Pituitary tumour to this article'

message: I have had two transcranial surgeries in 5 years to remove my Pituitary Tumor.  I have also had Stereotactic Radiosurgery to shrink the tumor even more.  At this point the tumor is smaller than a pea.  I must recommend the top Neurosurgen in the U.S. Dr. Ivan Ciric, MD FACS/Professor of Neurological Surgery in Evanston, IL.  He is the best doctor for removing Pituitary Tumors it is his specialty.  I do have other symptoms/conditions now do to the Pituitary Tumor: menopause, adrenal insufficency, and Diabetes Insipidus (these are all linked to the pituitary which I don't have anymore).  I no longer have the major headaches I once had.  I had very bad headaches behind my eyes ever since I was a child.  I did not find out about the tumor until I was in my 30's. I was told that 1 in every 10,000 people have some type of a pituitary tumor.  My question is how do these tumors start are you born with them or are they from envioronmental causes?   67.176.252.66 19:12, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Hyperthyroidism, results in Grave's Disease. Which causes abnormal antibodies  that mimic TSH or thyroid stimulating hormone and stimulate the over secretion of TH by follicle cells in the thyroid. 
Hypothyroidism results in an Endemic Goiter where insufficient amounts of iodine in the diet cause large visible lump on the anterior neck  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.100.249.35 (talk) 14:43, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Review 

message: I was first diagnosed with this condition at the age of 16. Doctors gave me medicines that helped it shrink. I am 28 years old now and yet my headache are worse and I cant sleep with my head a certain way at night. In the course of a day I can have three or more headaches and sharp pains going through my head. I still have breastmilk in my breast but never have been with child. The sad part about it is i was told by doctors to have an MRI every 6 months but due to lack of healthcare coverage I cant. Also I just recently i have spells of pressure in my head that i have to sit down and pray that the pressure will let up. If any one out their can help please let me know. I live in fear every time each pain or headache comes will i die from it. I know GOD has kept me this long so I'll keep praying. Sorry about the misspelled words.

thread_title:  Incidentalomas 

message: I went to see my dentist last week to have a cavity filled, but while there he noticed that my lower jaw has abnormally grown. So he sent me to have blood work done, and my results came back that my growth hormone level was at 19. A normal level I was told is around 3 to 6. I have also noticed that my feet have gone from a size 10 to size 11.5 and that is another sign of P.A. I am 26 years old, and I have a little girl who is only 14 months. I don't know what is going to happen to me, I've been told that if left unchecked that this could possibly kill me. And I cant bare the thought of my little girl growing up without her daddy, I'm not afraid to die i have god in my hart, but I don't want her to lose me. If anyone could give me any insight at all i would greatly appreciate it. I don't know much about this, everything is new to me, I'm scared, and just want to be assured that its not as bad as I think it really is.
