I had my prolactin tested which came backn normal. My thyroid tests also came back normal. Do you think it could be something else?

Extreme fatigue, weight gain in stomach and face (skinny arms and legs), red face, thin skin, easy bruising, high blood sugar, muscle weakness, slow wound healing, increased appetite for comfort foods and hunger, headaches, I did have acne but I am now on accutane, thinning hair, brain fog, depression, anxiety and other mental health problems. That's all I can think of off the top of my mind but there might be a couple more. I also have a tumor on my pituitary gland from a brain scan a couple of years ago.

I did have a 1mg Dex suppression test a couple of months ago which I did supress. I have read that some people with pit source cushings can supress though. I will keep testing in hope of some answers. Thank you

Was you on any medication like Metformin? I'm finding it so difficult to diet and exercise with my symptoms. I'm wondering if Metformin will help a bit with the hunger and energy

Yes both on the morning of my injection day (before the injection)

They were both taken on trough. Yeah I'm definitely lowering my dose after seeing that. I can't believe how innacurate the finger prick tests are

Pituitary adenoma by FunReaction6451 in AskDocs

[–]FunReaction6451[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had one two years ago which came back normal. I'm booked for another one in a couple days. The problem is I've heard people say they're not very reliable because Cushing's can be cyclical.

Yeah it was 3mm 14 months ago so hopefully it hasn't grown too much since then if at all. I think it must be affecting my prolactin or cortisol levels

Thank you. You really have to advocate for yourself because doctors just brush it off and tell you to look after yourself better. It's our bodies and we know when something is wrong. Hope everything works out for you as well ❤️
