Please guide MRI reads asymmetry with in bony fosa, with greater right side, experiencing pain in center part of head, low growth hormones, tingling on left hand and arm sometimes vibrations on left side face, hard to walk, horrible weakness, brain storm like, brain light headed, tired, confused, DHEAS is low, other tests can be posted. Confused that will Endocrinologist will do any thing or not on next appointment on 19 Dec, MRI reader is not clear- he simply ask for dynamic MR of Pituitary
That endo... I would consider her an endummy as a patient. I have met many...
TSH is and always will be a pituitary hormone. If she remembered anything from school, TSH is secreted from the pituitary and stimulates the thyroid. T4 is storage and T3 is the active form. Some people don't convert T4 to T3 very well and there can also be auto-immune issues as well like Hashimoto's. It all works in a loop. Check out medical sites and you will see if you search for pituitary hormones - TSH is always listed.
Tiny tumors on the pituitary can still have impact. I had two - one was 3mm the other was 5-6mm and grew all over my pit in such a way that it could not be seen after 10 years. They both impacted me.
You have low tests, symptoms and she is not skilled enough to take care of them. You should not have to suffer for her lack of knowledge and skills.

Today appointment done with Endocrinologist, she came out with opinion that pituitary is ok and fine, she is not ready to do any of further assessment like dynamic MR or Genetic test,.
She accept that it may have tiny stuff in pituitary but without any decision. She ruled out that obesity/center weight has any link with low growth hormones at all. she is after to reduce weight, confused that how to reduce weight? non tolerance to exercise. I explained to her that in case MRI comes out with no tumor then you should do further testing like ferritin and genetic test,.
She explained that TSH is not hormone of pituitary at all. for low TSH, does such opinion is worth to accept or not. she told that because I am taking synthyroid ,it is ok. does this can accept.
Only opinion she explained is worth to accept that due to low testosterone ,my prolactin and FSH goes high , for high LH she told she is not worried for this, for cortisol low and DHEAS low she does not have any clue.
She ruled out reason of center headache is of low growth hormones does this is worth to believe.
Please guide with your knowledge ,I know you can do.

Often MRI readings like that can mean there is a lesion but it is not clear. A dynamic pituitary MRI may or may not show a lesion but has a much better chance of showing one.
You have testing that is suspicious for pituitary issues, and so the endo should go on to do more testing, I hope, to determine if the GH is the sole issue or is the GH is being lowered by other hormones.
Let us know how the appointment goes.
