Post pituitary tumor removal surgery questions?

First not dirt. Also a few other questions, is it common to become hot and then very cold? And I have a follow up where they will remove the crusting in my nose, what is this like? Thanks! Sorry that the first half was more of a rant then a question 😖

Hello Julian, have you mentioned how you feel to any of your specialists or GP? It might be good to speak to someone as quickly as possible. Did they put you on hydrocortisone or another steroid? Also in answer to your question of feeling hot then cold, YES! I experienced it too but I had a Non Functioning Macroadenoma removed. For a few days my body temperature struggled to get up to normal but that has settled down. Steroids can worsen the effect of depression or feeling low so it is very important to contact someone asap - don't leave it. How are you doing apart from this feeling?

Hi there, I am pleased to hear that you will discuss your feelings with the specialist tomorrow. Is it dexamethasone or predisonone steroid? All of these, including hydrocortisone are known for affecting your mood, especially if there was depression prior to starting on steroids. Oh the stuffy nose thing grrrrrrr that settles down too. My nose is still an issue 3 months post surgery but it's getting better. Just make sure you use the nasal washes on a regular basis to help the crusting to shift.  Any sign of an infection, get straight down to see the ENT to get some meds. Best wishes and let us know how you get on tomorrow. :-)
