Thank you so much for posting this. I have all the symptoms that were mentioned, especially the vision and headaches are really annoying. i was at the endocrinologists few days ago and now I am waiting for results. Once I already had a diagnose of PCO according to high prolactin. It's so hard to just wait for tests, since there is nothing I can do about. Except to inform myself. So thank you again.

Thanks, yes. Endocrinologist, neurosurgeon, all! Also have some diplopia in each eye. But after the bromocriptine which I had to try 1st even though there were better drugs, I was scared to take anything else because that drug darn near killed me! Then I saw the neurosurgeon who said she could operate but she told me how unbearable the pain would be and gave me a whole list of horrible terrifying outcomes that could happen if anything went wrong, all of which seemed far worse than death.

Have you visited an Ophthalmologist? Have you seen an Endocrinologist? There are non-surgical procedures (such as medication) that can shrink pituitary adenomas. These medicines are are often prescribed when a patient is exhibiting visual disturbances. If your MD or specialist is not helping or advising you, seek a second opinion. But, be aware that many specialists believe a watchful waiting is the best solution. Good luck to you.

So many millions of people suffer from this so badly yet most doctors know almost NOTHING about it at all. My last MRI showed the tumour had grown regularly from 3mm to 11 in just 5 years That's over 1mm a year. That was 5 years ago & I've given up since doctors can't do anything anyway,& bromocriptine caused serious problems. My teeth are now growing apart & causing bad problems w/chewing although they can't find any growth hormone. I wonder why. Have to accept I'll just die from it I guess.
