  • Just Kind of a Rough Day

    Thursday, December 4, 2008 | A Venting story

    One of those days I guess.  Feeling tired (usual the last few days), plus a little bit of dizziness really since I started taking the full dose of Bromo.  Had an argument with my hubby last night that we are still not totally resolved.  Totally in a funky mood.  Found out I didn't get this fellowship through work that my boss nominated me for and that I was really excited ...

    Tuesday, January 6, 2009 | A Venting story

    Just waiting for the dostinex to do it magic and hopefully I can become pregnant this year.  Been on the meds for 3 weeks- only taking half a dose once a wk. I've waited my whole life to do this right and I'm pre occupied with eating right/exercising etc.  I'd been on depoprovera for 6 yrs before this diagnosis came about.

I have been feeling sleepy, lazy, and sick to my stomach ever since. This medicine apparently is the only medicine hey perscribe to treate Prolactinoma. From what I am reading on the web, it's the same medication used to treat patients with Parcenson&...

  • 4th week on Cabergoline

    Thursday, October 15, 2009 | A Venting story

    Today is the completion of my first month on Cabergoline. Although the side effects have been constant, my major complain are these horrible headaches!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have felt pretty good most of the time. With the exception of some moods swings and feeling of "hung over" on alot of days. In two more months i will now if my levels have dropped or not when i go to my Endo.
