----------------------------------------------------------- New Message on Pituitary Chat
----------------------------------------------------------- From: D-Miriam Message 2 in Discussion When I was 27, I had a large cyst encompassing one of my ovaries (I had similar symptoms to you but luckily they found the cyst before I collapsed). The ovary had to be removed. A few years later my periods became very irregular. It took several more years for the docs to diagnose prolactinoma... and then at 34, when I started taking dostinex, my periods returned - but very heavily. I became severely anemic. It turns out I had a huge fibroid in my uterus which had to be removed. While there's not way to know whether the prolactinoma presented itself before I was 27, I am sure that all of these health problems are interrelated. In my 20's, I had always struggled with PMS, depression, anxiety, acne - unbalanced hormones. But I don't know if the prolactinoma is the "chicken or the egg"... did the pit tumor develop as the result of fluctuating hormones (perhaps brought on by stress) or did the hormones become irregular because of the tumor? ----------------------------------------------------------- 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?
