Hello Gary,
I came across your website while researching tendonitis,waiting another week for a specialist appointment,really unable to work or do much at all.
I am six months out from craniopharyngioma surgery,very little pituitary stalk remaining and now trying to manage pan hypopituitarism.
My issues are many as you can imagine,I need hormone replacement therapy now,cortisol,t hyroxine and desmopressin.
Basically I feel I have little to no immunity,have been suffering from viruses and sinusitis and chest infections,you name it..now tendonitis.
I take some supplements,fish oil,echinachea,osteoeze,calcium,magnesium,and prior to tumour removal also took vitamins B and C,now I am almost unable to take the vitamins as they seem to interfere with the action of the desmopressin and have me urinating very frequently(B and C have always made me do this,but now it concerns me that it is somehow working against the medication).
I have gained weight and have gone from being a salt person to a sweet tooth,and have read so much on the internet am totally confused about what I really need.
I am so continually unwell that I am a shadow of my former self and am only barely coping with everyday life and taking a lot of time off work,and when at home sleep half the day.
I really need some solid advice,I have to take these medications to live,but I need to live better than this.
