More Blood Work
As you know I have a couple of pituitary tumors that screw with my hormones. I've been taking Dostinex or Cabergoline (the generic) for the last four years. Two months ago my Cabergoline was dropped from .75 mg. twice a week to .5 mg. twice a week. It should be noted that at its highest I was taking 1.5 mg. twice a week.
I had blood drawn last week. My prolactin reading came in at 7.6 (where a reading of 2.1 to 17.6 is normal). So, my prolactin us up a hair while my most recent Cabergoline dosage was dropped by 50%.
This morning I weighed 231.

I have prolactinoma as well and have previously been on Dostinex. You may have already heard about this, but studies are finding Dostinex linked to heart valve issues. You can easily find this information on the web, or check with your endocrinologist. I just wanted to pass on the info. Take care -
