Also, sorry to hear that

Hi,
My heart goes out to you. I also am sorry to hear that a doctor has said your weight issues are unrelated to the pituitary tumor. OF COURSE they are related. I would also suggest you see...

Prolactin update

Hello,
No one has posted in a while, including me. I had a 6 mo. checkup today and discovered my prolactin level is nearly 20, which is up from 1.2 and thus the doctors are happy with it. I...

Prolactinoma topic again

It was interesting to read your posts "muffin." I went to a checkup again last week and wound up having a prolactin count that was too low. The doctor wants it up a bit so we are ratcheting back my...

A year after diagnosis

PKalico--and others too!

Another 3-month check

Hello--
Not sure which of the bizarre little emoticons displaying themselves as I write this apply to prolactinomas. Can you imagine what that image should be? Yikes.

I went to my 3-month check...
