No immediate complications, so I left urgent care with instructions that my PCP should see me first thing Monday morning. I developed a severe headache that eventually went away; they said to seek emergency care if it comes back.

Sharp needle-like pain between my left eye and temple, took about 30 seconds to go away. Followed by a sensation of extreme cold on one side of my face and a headache that started out mild but rapidly intensified over the course of about 10 minutes, lasting about an hour before slowly improving.

No paralysis, no dizziness. Overall a mild episode. Diagnosis was by a nurse.

Concern comes mostly from the presence of my tumor. Pituitary adenomas, even when benign, are notorious for causing these episodes due to the pressure they exert on the brain and skull. Akira Toriyama died from an acute subdural hematoma that was caused by the pressure from exactly such a tumor as this.

Will I be okay? I don't really know. I'm already barely surviving.
