Forgot to add, I itch all over too.
Linda

I noticed dryness right away after I started Cabergoline...it's almost like it became so much easier for me to get dehydrated. Dry skin, hair, nails, mouth, eyes, guts! Everything. For awhile I took calcium supplements twice a day and that made my nails very strong...I kind of fell off the wagon with that one, though. Multivitamins made the quality of my skin feel better and of course lotion helps with the itching and all that. Haven't found anything for my hair yet...just using conditioner and products to make it less frizzy -- it still pretty frizzy and still breaks, though. Highlighting it made it MUCH worse. My opthamologist gave me a prescription for eye drops, and those seem to help my eyes a lot. As for everything else, I try to watch my diet and drink lots of water but still have to rely on a laxative or stool softener every now and then.

The calcium I take is Citrical Petites with D, multivitamins are Nature Made liquid multi (the Citrical and liquid multi seem much easier for me to digest, otherwise vitamins make me nauseous). The eye drops are called Fresh Kote.

It doesn't seem to matter what season it is, I'm still dry...winter is bad, summer is just as bad! It's not just you!!

For years I have been taking liquid Cal/Mag. I think it's a great supplement especially for us who have a Prolactinoma.
I take the liquid because I find I absorb it better. I can tell it's working because it makes my restless leg syndrome go away. If I take tablets or capsules, my RLS is not better.
Also, my hair and nails grow like crazy and my nails are strong.

I'm a big fan of Aloe Vera for the skin. Here in AZ I just go outside and pick a fresh leaf. Otherwise, as you may know, the gell can be bought at the store. I like the kind Trader Joe's makes if you have one near you.

For my skin, I drink lots of water (I'm always thirsty anyway) and use lotion. I'm wondering if the Omega 3 that I take must be helping my skin?

Thank you both for your replys, I shall try your recommendations, I already take Adcal tablets prescribed from the doctor, I will ask if I can try the liquid form. I have never tried Aloe vera so i shall try that too.
Tell me do you feel anxious and nervous too at times, with no explanation as to why, it comes and goes.
Best wishes Linda

Yes...I certainly do. Personally, my anxiety is usually preceded by a pretty horrific mood swing and happens a few times a month. I get very angry/cranky for maybe 15-20 minutes, then the anxiety, and then it just kind of burns itself out. Don't know if it's the meds, the prolactin, my natural hormones, or some terrible combination of the three.

I am so happy someone else ask the question about feeling nervous and anxious cause I get that feeling too.

I take Cabergoline, and mine are strong as nails-real nails.

Also, I have experienced the worse cases of contipation. I drink a cup of coffee everyone morning to get me moving. It also helps to drink lots of water.
Does anybody have emotional mood swings? Sometimes the simplist thing can make me wanna cry.
