Will I have to be on prednisone & DDAVP for the rest of my life?

I recently (2 months ago) had a golf ball size pituitary tumor removed (in 2 surgeries-the last being a craniotomy). Now, I have been experiencing fluid retention over the past 2-3 weeks. My doctor put me on 15mg Prednisone 2x daily & 1 dose DDAVP daily. My acth level was a bit low and my sodium level up on the high side.
