So what tests would ask for.
Give the endo your history. He/she should know what tests to run. endo's tend to take very long histories with lots of questions.
and then all my problems began with the thyroid and perimenopause and menopause does an endo do hormone testing too?

Yes, all harmones are part of the endo specility.
And I have a small tumor the radiologists said to ignore on my pituitary gland. I have an unread MRI from two years ago with that. Anything else I should ask for?

Make sure you should mention the tumor.
Endo is a very very complex field, as complex as neurology. However it is far better understood that neurology. Put your energy into getting a referal to someone good. They should know what tests to run based on your history.
