Hi everyone, I posted on here a couple of months ago under Trcarroll1, unregistered over the holidays, and discovered I couldn't re-register under same name. Anyway, I've lived with hyperprolactinemia for almost 20 years and couldn't find drs to treat me because my prolactin was only mildly elevated (44-54 ng range) and no visible tumor by MRI, despite all the symptoms from irregular/absent menses, galactorrhea, headaches, mood swings. The symptom that effected me the most was the moodiness and uncontrollable anger. Over the last year I had also developed perimenopause symptoms with major insomnia and hotflashes and I'm 33. Anyway, quick up-date...Finally found a great Dr with a heart in Redwood City who started me on meds. I started Dostinex 0.5 mg 2x/week on November 24th. Normal menses returned after 3rd dose, and within a couple of weeks all of my prolactin related symptoms had completely disappeared. I went back to my doc last week, and my prolactin was 0.8ng. Yea!!! Dr actually halved my meds to 0.25mg 2x/week. I'm feeling great, with no side effects from the Dostinex. And most importantly for me, the moodiness and uncontrolled anger are gone. I got my happy family life back!!! Anyway, I wish you all could be cured so easily too. Best of luck! |
