Your pituitary tumor is a major factor in your health problems. The pituitary affects so many other glands so your hormone levels are probably all out of whack.

If the pituitary is underperforming your growth hormones will be affected, sex hormones (testosterone/energy) will be affected, your thyroid will be affected which will make you feel tired and weak, and your adrenals will be affected and that will make you feel like you have poor energy.

And you will, because the pituitary is malfunctioning.

Well again, I’ve had them all checked and rechecked (had to after the operation for a couple of years) and they all got back to normal- all levels are fine now- like I said- Docs just shrug when I ask why I’m so exhausted and painful muscles- and dump their diagnosis onto something obscure like Chronic Fatigue-

I personally believe that there is a problem with the way my body turns food into energy- because I just don’t get enough energy to keep me going, and what little I have I can burn through very quickly and get really run down with very little exertion- just walking say 1 mile or thereabouts is enough to weaken me further for a couple of days-

I was kinda hoping it was something simple like thyroid which could be corrected with meds, but all tests show normal
