Carl, our two youngest, and I just got home from our wonderful trip to Louisiana. We had a great time and are thankful for the time we were able to spend with my entire family as it's been a long time since we've all been in the same room together.
Carl's headaches are more frequent. They are not more painful, nor are they causing any other symptoms. He is simply out of commission while experiencing the headaches to the point where he is forced to take two prescribed Vicodin.
We read some where there are connections between Prolactinoma and Thyroid problems. Carl is hopeful because it might help his weight if the decrease in tumor helps any potential thyroid problems, thus decreasing his weight.
While on the road today, we found an endocrine website that offered a great deal of information regarding Prolactinoma, the medications involved when patients are treated with medications, the possibility that Prolactinoma could reoccur, and that medicine could also potentially be taken for years to treat this tumor. Here is the website if you are interested: http://www.endocrine.niddk.nih.gov/pubs/prolact/prolact.htm.
I also called them to request further information through the mail so we will have better preparation when we meet with the Endocrinologist. I do not want to leave out any vital questions.
