[QUOTE="1 Day At a Time, post: 145373, member: 3704"] Nomad, I've been treated for a number of years for a pituitary tumor. This tiny tumors are very common, and most folks who have them don't have symptoms and don't even know that they have one. I was treated for infertility, and that's when mine was found. I was not having any symptoms. The doctor would be concerned about headaches and visual changes in relation to such a tumor. The reasoning is that those symptoms could indicate that the tumor is growing. The usual problem is a loss of visual fields due to pressure on the optic nerve from a growing tumor. My doctor hasn't ever mentioned blurriness of vision. I have periodic visual field tests and I underwent chemotherapy which "shrunk" the tumor. Of course there are many, many reasons for headaches. Pollen is a real trigger for me. Our pollen count here yesterday was over 3,000! The MRI will clarify everything for you in terms of the tumor. Good luck! I'm sending prayers and many positive vibes your way so that no problems are found!!!!! [/QUOTE]
