Is anyone have a thyroid problem and its affecting the patuitary gland?
I was just recently told that my thyroid levels are low and it's possibly affecting my patuitary gland which is why I have gained so much weight recently and can't lose any. I am going to see a specialist on Monday, but I was wondering if anyone else has this problem and what is being done...Also, have you lost weight?

- Other way around...the thyroid would not affect the pituitary but if there is something going on with your pituitary it could cause your thyroid to be low. For your Dr. to have said that their must have been other hormones low besides the pituitary. If that is the case they will likely do an MRI on your pituitary. This is usually a problem caused by cyst or usually benign tumors.
