I think my pituitary tumor is growing again. Been having constant headaches & seeing white flashes in my peripheral vision.

Damn, I am so sorry. Hugs from a fellow tumor-haver. Regarding the flashes, though … when was the last time you had your eye pressure checked? It might be a good idea to cover that base in case the flashes are from something else. Speaking from experience here.

I had an eye exam back in May. Eye pressure was normal & I had no problems then. This has started within the last week or so.

I’m glad your eyes are all good! I hope you can get in to see your neuro soon to see what’s going on.

Can’t hurt to have your eyes checked again. I was having white lightning flashes in my peripheral vision, and when I consulted Dr. Google I learned it might be a detached retina. My ophthalmologist got me in right away.Thankfully it turned out I just getting old, but he said I was right to come in.

Yeah, I'll make another appointment. My doc actually told me I was getting old last time because my glasses don't work up close like they used to. I usually have to take them off to read up close. I was like, "damn, I AM 44." Now it makes sense as to why my Mom did that all the time.

Mention the white flashes when you call. That seemed like the magic words that got me the appointment the next day. I’ve got my fingers and toes crossed for you, buddy. πŸ’œ

I'm just glad I'm not having the icepick headaches. Those were the worst. Almost every time I stood up after sitting or laying down for a long time. That was before it got diagnosed though.

Gonna make another appointment with my opthalmologist. Hopefully I can get in soon. It usually takes a month or two.
