Prolactinoma Support Group
A prolactinoma is a benign tumor of the pituitary gland that produces a hormone called prolactin. It is the most common type of pituitary tumor. Symptoms of prolactinoma are caused by too much prolactin in the blood or by pressure of the tumor on surrounding tissues. Prolactin stimulates the breast to produce milk during pregnancy.

Alright fam been on the cabby-cabs for 8-wks now, and just had my follow up appointment at Swedish Pituitary Center. Blood work came bk and prolactin plus testosterone are bk to normal. Figured... and ya'll can call me crazy, but I thought I should be feeling reborn or something of that nature. Anyways what's next? Well I know what's next. Keep popping the cabby-cabs, and a MRI in 6months to see if there is tumor shrinkage. Look I know we all seem to have a very common goal, "FEEL NORMAL". If high prolactin, low testosterone can cause whackyness in the brain, why when things are bk to normal hormonal wise we/me still feel somewhat off? "LIFE"
Much love,

Thats a nice read! Man if you want to call it feeling reborn or whatever go for it. Take it and fly its a new you and a way to be. It can chance us or we can change the norm.
Keep being positive - I always enjoy your updates!
i think there is more to life than we realise, in terms of how our mind and circumstance conrtibutes to health issues. its not "blame", and i say this as someone with a prolactinoma diagnosis myself.
i have no doubt that my resentment towards my job which i have gorwn to detest has been part of it, as well as being subjected to a wall of hate frm a bizarre colleague , and my managers not addressing it has been part of it. Deep resentment deep within, over thinking and over-analysing to try and solve the problem, this has been part of it- no wonder the poor ol' brain has copped it..
i was locked into my job highly specialist, very few out there and debt ( mortgage etc) so couldnt walk away as easily, BUT i have decided to find another job and move on and up and out.
all this is the precursor to the feeling normal /good/better etc with improved levels....so much is influenced by how we get a grip and decide to feel - i know it is not necessarily easy or immediate, but the more committed we are to our own wellness and feeling good again, we start to move in the right direction.
i was SOOO trashed on the meds, but it has improved and although i am not "excellent" all the time, i changed my mood indicator to excellent to remind myself where i want to be consistently.
and back to something of rlevevance...feel good with your results, and it might take a little time for that to sink in and again to breathe out on it. good things are coming in for you ! take back more empowerment where you can, at the speed at which you can and things will get better and better. a big part of it is self-mastery i seem to be discovering.
every good wish to you and anyone who may read this ,
