Title: MRI results
Post by Jbrigham77 on Feb 26th, 2010 at 6:05pm
I haven't posted in over a week.  I ended up in the local ER a week ago as I had a sudden headache worse than any I ever felt before. It wasn't a cluster as my whole head felt like it would explode.  Pain killers and sent me on my way home.  Called Neuro next day, gave me pain pills. 
The daily headaches have stopped completely and now am only getting 1 headache nightly about 2 hrs after I fall asleep.  So Dr now thinks I have migraines, CH and parosxymal hemicrania as well.  I am taking about 3 different meds a day right now. 
I had my MRI this past wednesday.  Dr called with the results tonight as he had another dr look at it to be sure.  I have a small pituitary tumor.  He said that some people with CH present on MRI with a tumor and at this point we are doing the wait and see approach. I see him in 2 months and redo the MRI in 6 months.  I have to have some blood work done as well before May to see what if they can determine what type of tumor I have. 
But on a good note. I saw my surgeon about the horrible Lupron injection I had back in Dec.  I will not be getting another injection next week as planned. I refused to have it again.  We wait to see how my body and brain (I think all the headache problems lately are caused by this shot I had as it messes with the pituitary gland) do over the next 1 and 1/2 months and either do nothing or I got back to have another surgery. 
I hope that everyone has a PF weekend.
