I guess my testosterone is crashing today. I haven't felt so good for most of the day--no energy, general lassitude, depressed, down on myself. I'm in love with a co-worker, but he is a hard nut to crack. He's Persian--I'm pretty sure he's gay and may even like me, but he seems to keep his distance. Frustrating to have feelings and not be able to expres...

I found out today that the 2 follicles that they saw in my u/s did not do anything. My progesterone level was .4 which to them means that i did not ovulate. I feel like i have been hit with 10 ton of something. I feel worse than before. I cannot take this anymore. I feel completely drained mentally and physically. My body and mind cant take it. AAAAAAAAAA...1 Recommendation

I went over to my friend V----'s house today. He had been bugging me for weeks to go see his new place. He is naturally energetic and optimistic. I suspect he has naturally high testosterone levels. He's also completely extroverted and social and quite gabby. I am not. I couldn't help feeling there's something really wrong with me next to h...1 Recommendation

I feel a bit sad, that I came to this site expecting to find support from others who suffered the same or a similar condition and share things.
Doug has been very welcoming and supportive.
But I have posted a couple of items, and given a hug to one member, plus answered a couple of others, sharing my similar story (ie the Prolactinoma Support Group)
Yet no one has responded to me. Not on...1 Recommendation2 Comments -
I received a phone call today from Haven's nurse confirming her schedule and list of medication.
Rituximab will be every Friday and we will continue with Cyclosporin at 2 times a day with levels being check every other day. With Rituximab she will get Benadryl in the port prior to administering the chemo. This helps her with any reactions to the chemo and I like it because it relaxes her.

I went to see my doctor (who was on vacation....so had a fill in) for the results from the CT scan that had taken place July 8/09 after having high level of prolactin in blood - 23 (0-20 is normal range).
The CT scan resulted in showing a 2mm micro-adenoma (prolactinoma). The radiologist recommended a MRI scan to confirm the findings. My doctor sent the pa...1 Recommendation -
Feeling pretty blah today and having a sad day. Do you ever feel that when you've been given bad news, seems everyone else around you is having good news? I haven't told my parents yet, don't really know how to bring it up and would rather do it in person. Keep on making excuses for not telling them, but it's easier the less people that know right now. I am...1 Recommendation

I haven't posted in a while. Feeling very low today. On vacation this week. I think I must be some kind of workaholic because I'm longing to go back if only to be around people and get out of my head for a while. Someone told me once I think too much. I do. But why do my thoughts always seem to take a negative turn? It wouldn't be so bad if my...1 Recommendation1 Comment
