I've been dealing with a pituitary macroadenoma for 10 years and have been on cabergoline 0.5 mg twice a week since 2016 to manage it. The tumor size hasn't reduced and has stayed the same for the last 3 years. I've been getting treatment at AIIMS since 2014 but really don't want to go for another transcranial surgery since I've already had two before. The meds or hormonal imbalance have also caused low libido and slower semen regeneration. I've tried Poona Hospital, SGPGI Lucknow, and now AIIMS but I'm exhausted from all the medications. Is there any way to remove this tumor completely without another major surgery? Currently taking Wysolone 2.5-5 mg on alternate days, Thyronorm 100 mg daily, and cabergoline 0.5 mg twice a week. What are my options now?

I'm really worried about my TSH level, which is at 36.28. I've felt super depressed and can't stop wanting to eat more. I'm currently on a 100 mcg tablet, but should I be thinking about increasing it? I try to exercise daily for about 30 to 40 minutes. Since I'm staying in a hostel, what kind of food choices should I be making to help get my thyroid under control? Also, I can't seem to lose any weight. Any advice?
