I'm not sure of the size,I just know it is a nodule on the pituitary.Yes there are many more SX.The worst is the ongoing pains in my head.When i say pain it's throughout
the intire body,weakness,Fatigue is horrible puts me down for days sometimes.The type of pain in my forarms with the wekness there,feels like I have ZERO energy and can bearly move.Just Friday of last week I saw a new DR that works with my Neuro,and eye doc.The eye Doc wants the GP to do alot of bloodwork for my Endo systom,and
wants to,  retakes on the MRI as well as checking the Adrenal gland to start.

If you have not had pituitary testing, I would go see a neuro-endo and get testing.

The type of tumor needs to be determined. You did not give size, as well as you only indicated pain and depression as a symptom - there must be others - as those are quite common.

Low thyroid means the thyroid hormones have been effected - but it could be that other hormones are being impacted as well - GH, ACTH, PRL being the most likely but it could be LH, FSH and ADH too - so get good testing on everything.

There is a forum called pituitary and brain tumors - you can post there.

There are a number of us with pituitary tumors or who have had pituitary surgery.  I plan to notify the moderator on that forum of your post.
