[QUOTE="MAV6, post: 112034, member: 18723"] Thanks Blackhawk, I'm 34, and I'm not entirely sure how this all occurred. I had a TBI, and they ran an MRI to assess how much damage was done from the TBI. The doc walked in and said they found hemorrhaging in my brain and "something else." So, then I had another MRI with contrast, and it turned out to be a pituitary adenoma. I am told that pituitary adenomas are idiopathic, so they have no idea what causes them. I don't think it's hereditary. My 64 year old father has testosterone levels that hover from 650-700 ng/dL and my brother is healthy as well. I have very high cholesterol since developing this condition, so maybe I'm not converting cholesterol as a result of the hypopituitarism as well? This is like drinking from the fire hose to me. I was under the impression that after my tumor was removed everything would go back to normal, but apparently not..... [/QUOTE]
