Hi, I have a prolactinoma that is 6mm. I get it checked every 3 months. My symptoms are severe exhaustion, swollen breasts, muscle aches, nausea, heavy periods and spotting before periods. I also get blurred vision and my body gets hot and cold a lot. Like extreme on fire I feel like and then the chills and teeth chattering cold follows. No one takes me seriously because my thyroid level isn't too bad but I swear I have low thryoid functioning. Can my symptoms all be due to high prolactin level? I am finally going on dostinex because back in January my tumor apoplexy(which they say is rare-it bled) and my body went haywire. I had seizures, etc... any medicine was making me sick but I now know I think I need to take the dostinex because I feel lousy. All the doctors think I am crazy but they try feeling like this. I am soooooo tired I can't even function.

Are you seeing a endo doctor? Have they check all your hormone levels? They checked my throid all the time. I ended up with low growth hormone on top of a prolactinoma.
My tumor did bleed during my pregnancy. Sound like you have many things going on. Dostinex will help take some of things out of the way so they can find the other problems.
