What is the life expectancy of someone with Panhypopituitarism?
Life expectancy of people with Panhypopituitarism and recent progresses and researches in Panhypopituitarism
Having Panhypopituitarism isn't a death sentence by any means. Yes, it is life-threatening in certain emergency situations and there is no cure at this time, but if the disease is cared for properly in accordance with your Endocrinologist, the life expectancy for Panhypopituitarism is usually the same as with someone who doesn't have the disease.

I AM panhypopit having lost my pituitary due to a tumor
and my adrenals are flatline also (checked year after I had the
surgeries in 2003 and both were complicated.
Following the second I had a massive collapse (I had been home one day)
resulted in ICU/MICU due to massive electrolyte/adrenal failure
It was followed by 6 weeks of skilled nursing/rehab to get my electrolytes stabilized and
rehab to enable me to walk again (there had been damage to my brain leaving me with
severe mobility issues.
I am thankful to God and to a physician who was dedicated enough to keep digging until he found
what turned out to be a tumor issue
(the rest of the 'medical' community wrote me off as a disturbed middle age female (bizarre symptoms)
