Does anyone have experience with a pituitary adenoma in relation to migraines?

After suffering severe migraines, especially in relation to my mentrual cycle, I finally went in for testing and a pituitary micro adenoma was found. The doctor seemed to think that these adenomas are really quite common and unrelated to my migraines especially in the absence of other symptoms. I was wondering if anyone else has had an experience with this. Should I keep looking for additional testing or simply walk away with a prescription for beta blockers feeling good that it's nothing serious?

There's a new development in migraine therapy:

yes, I very much doubt its connected especially as you acknowledge the hormonal link.
