Title: prolactin
Post by aloneuk on Mar 24^th, 2007, 10:17am

hiya all,
i went to see my neuro yesterday and he has added lithium to my verapimil, but also said my prolactin levels were over twice what they should be and theres a chance i may have a microadenomas (small tumor) of the pituitary gland
so i had another blood test and he has booked me in for an mri.
now im shitting my self, and the mri has around a 2months waiting list ! so 2 months of worry !!
im also seeing my gp on monday because there may be a chance that my prolactin being high might be linked to my girlfriend having 5 miscarrages, we have been trying for a child 4 over 2yrs and they cant work out why we loose them.
but i found out that high prolactin in men can cause deformed sperms and may lead to miscarrage.
any advise welcome im feeling pretty low about it all,
i wish the beast would give me just a little break to cope with it, but no such luck, he has been living in my head since aug 06
thanx for being here
ike

Worrying isn't going to do anything but give you an ulcer.

Relax. Sit down. Take a deep breath. Now exhale. Repeat. Just take it one breath, one hour, one day at a time.

You can do this. You are a clusterhead.

Prayers, vibes, and good ju-ju headed your way.

Now BREATHE!

Chuck
