She is fortunate it was only 7 years. I begin to ask questions in the late 80s because I had read an article in JAMA......yet they dismissed it.
It was not till 2003 that it was finally addressed. I lost my pituitary and am now also in adrenal failure.
BTW the doctor who finally diagnosed it was a naturopathic physician, not an MD.

I had a pituitary tumor removed at the age of 22, but this was when they had to remove my nose and all that fun stuff just to get to it...it really was not my idea of a good time! But those surgeons saved my butt and I'm still here thanks to their skill: Dr. Liston, Dr. Gregory, Dr. Abid...my infinite thanks!
