So 2 month ago my girlfriend took a blood test after having no period for 4 months suddenly, and a bunch of other tests.
The blood test showed super high prolactin level of 3100 m/IU. After reading a lot we were sure it is prolactinoma and got ready for this mess.
We were waiting for the doctor appointment, meanwhile she uploaded her results to get online diagnosis(I think doctola.com), and it suggested that she check Macro-prolactin levels as there are some signs it is “fake” prolactin. I had my doubts since it is AI after all, but the doc gave her a new blood test, and turned out she indeed had high macro-prolactin which means high chance this is not prolactinoma, and prolactin level is way way lower, which saved a lot of headache.
The online diagnosis offered to take Cabergoline anyway and so we asked the doc, and he kind of agreed to try.
It’s been 2 months she takes it - and her character changed dramatically.
She used to be someone who get angry fast, we used to fight a lot, her character wasn’t comfortable during period to the level I wanted to leave.
Now, she is way more soft, calm, she care much less about words, less emotional and more manageable. Period is back.
I got to say that the day after the pill, she becomes not very comfortable, but when this pass she is way more “soft” and less emotional.
Cabergoline seems to solve problems that aren’t Prolactinoma, and although the doctor (and the AI diagnosis) said it’s 75% hyper-prolactinoma, we will test for tumor later with MRI.
For those who scare from the pills - give it a try!
