----------------------------------------------------------- New Message on Pituitary Chat
----------------------------------------------------------- From: Prolacinomary Message 1 in Discussion Hi, everyone. I'm new to the boards, here. Thanks to everyone for the fascinating insight you've given me by being so willing to share your stories. I basically collapsed in a Walgreen's yesterday with "cramps" so bad I could barely breathe. (I had hobbled in, clutching my abdomen with the intention of buying some Extra-Strength Tylenol. Ha ha.) The pharmacists called the paramedics. Many hours, IVs, strong drugs, and a CAT scan later, I was told I have a large ovarian cyst. I was diagnosed with prolactinoma about 5 years ago. Stuff is starting to make sense. Over the years, I have experienced lactation, incredibly irregular periods, increased acne, unbeliveable bloating, steady weight gain (despite a healthy diet and regular, rigorous exercise), fatigue, digestion problems (two colonoscopies and an endoscopy with inconclusive results) and I think I may have miscarried a couple years ago. Does this sound like prolactinoma growth? Or prolactinoma complications to anyone else? I've got an ultrasound scheduled for Monday to check out the cyst. After that, it's time for another MRI. I'm just writing to say that today has been kind of an awakening for me, largely because I'm reading everyone's posts. I'm starting to believe that all these "mysterious" health problems are totally pituitary-related. I hope I don't sound like a ding-a-ling -- I mean, I haven't related all this stuff before. Thanks. Any thoughts or advice are greatly appreciated. ----------------------------------------------------------- To stop getting this e-mail, or change how often it arrives, go to your E-mail Settings. http://groups.msn.com/PituitaryChat/_emailsettings.msnw Need help?
