  • @Illdanus - I have to take meds to conter the effect. It's a pain and I wish the thing would just be removed.

  • @tracy10UT -I know what you mean. I seem to be sick all of the time. so far, knock on wood, mine has not progressed to cancer but yet I am still fearful.

  • @inxs1010 tbh, anitdepressants are not the best idea as it increases level of prolactine in blood which may also be causing problems.

  • They make people absolutely miserable causing one health problem after another. Furthermore prolactinomas are especially dangerous for people who have cancer elsewhere because they cause the cancer to migrate toward the lymph nodes.

  • I have this kind of tumor, it's not fun, I'm waiting on a fresh MRI to see if it's grown enough to make surgery an option.

  • tHANKS FOR UPLOUDING THE VIDEO OF SUCH ORDEALL. I HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSE WITH SAME PITIUTERY TUMOR., YOUR VIDEO REALLY HELP A LOT TO UNDERSATAND THE SITUATION I AM IN RIGHT NOW. THANKS AGAIN . GOD BLESS YOU.

  • I have a very small prolactinoma that causes me to have severe panic attacks, headaches, and other ailments. No neurosurgeon will remove it because it's so small and they feel is too risky for me to have it removed. Instead I take antidepressants to control the panic attacks that I've had since 1986. It's been hell and how I wish it could just be removed. Unfortunately there is no guarantee that I will be symptom free since I have been suffering with this so long.

  • I had the same symptoms for the past 8 years and finally now,I am diagnosed and happy but a little scared too. I have terrible pain in my joints and muscles.Soon I will be well again.

  • urks, it reminds me of the dangerous lobotomy
