Frustration: Prolactin Levels On The Rise

I don't know if my prolactin level is within normal range. The blood was drawn on Thursday to check both my prolactin level and my thyroid level (that may be the wrong wording), but I have to wait for the lab to get the results back to the doctor's office and then for him to read them and then have his nurse get back to me. (Typically, about a week long process.) I complained a few months ago that I wasn't "right," and when the blood test results came back, my prolactin level had increased, up to the highest number within that lab's normal range. I reminded my endo. about that, but it didn't seem to be an issue to him.
As I told my DH, if the levels from the endo. come back normal, I'm going to have to have some other work up done by some physician, because I can't take the exhaustion that I am experiencing. It, literally, hurts to get up and move around. (And, no, I am not that large - 163 lbs. - for that to be the problem.) Things that I would typically do, with no problem, like the laundry, are wearing me out. I'm not out of breathe, just physically tired. If I had other symptoms, I would assume I had the flu, but that isn't the case.
My period did finally start, after 42 days. Something isn't right! When my prolactin levels are within normal range (on bromocriptine), they are 25 to 26 days apart, regularly. And, no, I wasn't pregnant and miscarried (unfortunately, I'm familiar with those); my DH had a successful vasectomy over four years ago.
