[iyamamaschke]

My GOD a pice of this Puzzle of my body has finally come to a head and YES, I ahve high prolatin levels which means My freaken stupid boduy thinks it's pregnant damn thing no wonder it's been sooo hard to lose weight go figure. The good news is it can be fixed though which is awesome with 1 pill every 4 days YAY and all the negative syptoms such as fatigue and no sex drive and also weight gain should be reversed. OMG do you guys know what this means. I am sooo excited to feel good I am literally jumping up and down at the thought of feeling like me again WOOOHOOO.

Re: HIGH Prolactin LEVELS!!

sarah, could you expand on this a bit. can you share what this has meant as far as your stall? this is something that might be useful to some other members.
for example, can you tell us what lead your doctors to discover the problem and how this pill is going to help you. it would be good to update this thread with any reaction you have to the pill, negative or postive.

thanks, girl!

sarah, could you expand on this a bit.

Are you OK? Does that mean there's an underlying problem? How did it come that they tested you for that? I'm sorry for all these questions. I've just never heard of this before. In any case, I'm glad your doctor found it and is treating you for it.

Re: HIGH Prolactin LEVELS!!

exactly why i asked sarah to tell us more. out of this many people, there has to be at least a couple more that would find this information valuable.

I hope this is the answer you've been looking for and medication helps.

I also hope you're going to stay off the caffeine too! (That will still help!)

Thanks for sharing.

Re: HIGH Prolactin LEVELS!!

OH ya staying off the Caffeine.

Acyually what came to them testing for this is that I have still been lactating even know I ahve not been breast feeding for the past year. I thought it was normal and I mentioned it to a few people who were like SARAH you should get that checked you aren't breast feeding any more. SO I went to the doc and He did just that he tsted my Prolactin levels and sure anought they are high. WHich goes to explain the Low testosteron. I will most likely be able to totally go off the testosteron cause this med lowers the prolactin bringing my testosterone up as well. Also the Low thyroid is also a syptom of this condition and thyroid is always checked when your Prolactin levels are HIGH so the Puzzle is comming together. Wish that is was all together and not in Pieces but, hey at least we arefiguring it out right.

SO I will get my meds thhis morning for the Pharmacy as I understand there are some pretty nasty side effects for the first few days but, I am willing to try it if I feel better.

I'll keep you updated.

Re: HIGH Prolactin LEVELS!!

thank you, sarah, this will be a good information, first hand thread for future use.

Re: HIGH Prolactin LEVELS!!

YUP I will keep Updating it. The side effects are not too bad as of Now. I feel tired and my thraot is sore which is a side effect but, I didn't get the dizziness or nausea that some people get when they go on it so I am happy about that. My appetite has been low today I really am not feeling hungry not sure if it's from the meds or just me in general I will let you all know.

I am going to bed early tonight and hopefully I will be past the yuckies tomorrow.
