Hello there...
I wondered if anyone can please help I am pretty much at the end of my tether... :( 5 years ago,I statred having the most horrendous headachs, and I've seen them described here. Nothing alleviates them at all and at times they are so bad, I just want to give up. I noticed at around this time that my left nipple produces a thickish milky substance, which also appears in other places..occasionally little lumps down below and lumps behind my ears..It isn't puss (Sorry TMI) But a strange thickish as I say milky substance. I was diagnosed with an underactive thyroid and about 4 years ago a passing remark from my doctor was that 'Your prolactin level are raised.' She did nothing else regarding this at all. Incidentally, I had failed IVF earlier this year. The headaches have become worse, and the feeling of pressure around my eyes, particularly the right one is indescribable. 3 weeks ago I woke up and my eye was blood red as a vessel had actually burst. What I'm wondering is if people think I have grounds to push for some investigation. I have such huge respect for the ehalth profession but little for my Doctors. I can't carry on like this :((( Posted on 07/20/09, 07:07 pm |

Get your prolactin levels check. dont take no for a answer
Dont get scared on what you read. I had same kind of pain with my tumor ,always thought it was sinus. It was pushing on my optic nerve There are Meds that shrink tumors of this kind. Make sure YOU stay on top of this dont rely on just a M.D. Get to a Endo DR. Hope this helps spool13
