Hiya everyone,
Thanks for all your support. Anonymous, I must admit I am not so sure about TSH, T3 & 4 and it's impact on Pituitary tumours. I have a prolactinoma - therefore it makes my circulating prolactin levels sky high. In fact higher than a breast feeding woman. Naturally, your thyroid hormone levels would have an impact on your pituitary as it regulates the thyroid gland. Benign pituitary tumours are apparently in fact not officially 'tumours'. They are in fact a 'swelling' of the Pituitary. The cells of real tumours are different to the host tissue that it decides to grow on. B. Pit Tumours have exactly the same cells as the Pituitary so are therefore really 'swellings'. Some medicos believe that it swells in a similar way that the thyroid gland swells into a goiter. The believe that it is a form of homeostasis for it to enlargen to literally try to catch more of a certain hormone that it is lacking. However, even though homeostasis is generally a good thing, sometimes in this case it can create more problems than do good. Gosh I hope I haven't confused you !!
The symptoms of a pituitary tumour (aka swelling) really depend upon where the swelling is. My swelling is on the anterior side which in my case makes my prolactin levels go crazy. Sometimes, if the swelling is on the Posterior side it can cause acromegaly (face becomes elongated, voice deepens, hands and feet become huge) not nice. I guess the only way to really find out is to have CT imaging done.
My vision problem with this tumour was primarily double vision and blurriness. Chaste tree has helped this significantly.

Diana best of luck with everything and hope you feel super dooper soon. Just think of it this way - if you didn't feel any change whatsoever you may in fact feel worse. Just keep telling yourself that you are currently ill because your body is dumping this awful muck. Be gentle with yourself and let your body know that it can take as long as it wants to do it's work. (within reason!!) Revel in your sickness !!!
Lots of hugs for everyone !!!
