You obviously have already been worked up a bit and are familiar with some of the anatomy and nomenclature of the pituitary axis. It is not a simple matter of deciding what tests should be done. This would be best handled by endocrinology in association with neurosurgery. Find some good folks that you can trust and let them help you through this difficult problem.

Hormonal abnormalities are not uncommonly associated with Pseudotumors and you may well have had these when the original evaluation occurred. See a neurologist for followup, but, as mentioned, an update with an endocrinologist would be very useful.
