yet another request for some help

Well, I had my surgery on February 4th. It was probably one of the worst things that I have ever had to endure........

everyone made it sound like it was going to be fine. My doctor told me I would probably be out in a day or two. I ended up being there almost a week, and probably could have stayed longer. While I was in the hospital I developed Diabetes Insipidus, and was sooooo thirsty and going to the bathroom so much that they put a bedside toilet next to me because I couldnt make it to the bathroom. I was in so much pain, and I was so nauseus that I couldnt eat anything the whole time I was there. After I got home I was put on 20mg of hydrocortisone in the morning and 10mg in the afternoon.

 

I spent the first week in bed and sleeping most of the time. After the first week I was up a little and moving around. About the third week I went to get follow up blood work done. At around the fourth week my endo called and told me to drop the hydro to 10mg and 5mg. That weekend I got really really sick. I was throwing up anything that I tried to eat or drink, and I was aching and tired. I ended up going to the ER and they tested me for flu and it came up negative. They sent me home and I continued throwing up until Monday. I ended up back at the er and they found out I had a sinus infection. I took antibiotics for that week and nothing seemed any different except that I wasn't throwing up.

 

I went back to work and around the 4rth day of work, I started feeling really tired and achy. Since then I have been sick every day. I am so tired all I want to do is sleep. Every bone and muscle and joint in my body hurt. I have no strength whatsoever. I can barely get myself up off of the chair when I sit down. I cant eat anything because Im naseus all the time. I am sneezing alot also, and I have insomnia horribly. My doctor said everyone handles it different and that she thinks it is probably going to go away, but it is getting no better, and I am so sick of being sick. I am worse now than I was before my surgery, and I am actually regretting the surgery. Please someone, anyone who has had the transphenoidal surgery to remove a pituitary tumor, let me know if there is a light at the end of the tunnel,,,,,,,,,,..............

This is not good...sounds like you need more Hydro for right now. It really does. I am not that way post op . You may need to have more hydro for now. I did not have Cushings, I have Acromegaly so I can come off sooner then you. Have you posted at the forums? You really need to get this out posting on the forums. Do you know how to post there?

No.......Im kinda new to this. I have been doing blogs, but never anything else. My doctor doesnt seem to think I need to take any more. She seems to think that this is normal, but It doesnt feel right.

Hey Hollie,

My name is Mattie and I just had the transphen surgery on the 5th of April. I was out of the hospital on the third day. The only major problem I have had is that I forgot to take the 10 mg of hydrocort in the evening one night and got really really sick. I too have a sinus infection but my doc told me I would probably get one. Have you read anything about adrenal crisis? Some of these symptoms sound similiar. I am not feeling as well as I had hoped to by now but I hope to go back to work on Monday which will be two weeks.
