I wrote previously on the Yahoo board. I have a 5mm prolatinoma and taking Cabergoline. My prolactin levels are normal; however, still experiencing all the same symptoms I've complained about for years. Symptoms seem Thyroid/PCOS.
My primary care retested my thyroid levels to "humor me" and said everything came back fine and to stop the nonsense - I just suffer from depression!
I'm still waiting for all my End records to get better test metrics. I recently did the antibody testing recommended. I know a bit of a puzzle, but here is what I have. Something is off and I just don't know where to push. Especially where my Primary Care is basically saying stop the nonsense.
The test results from 09/19 were from Brigham & Woman's Endo. They are going to retest in a few months and see if thyroid levels go down. If it was a thyroid issue those numbers will go down more.
11/20:
Thyroxine (T4)= 5.8 (4.5-12.0)
T3 Uptake= 31 (24-39)
Free Thyroxine Index 1.8 (1.2-4.9)
Antithyroglobulin Ab <20 (0-40)
Thyroid Peroxidase TPO Ab= 13 (0-34)
11/14:
Free T3= 3.6
Free T4= 1.01
TSH= 0.81 (0.49-4.67)
10/23:
Cortisol Stimulation Test (CRH)
8am morning fasting: 13.4
30 minutes after: 30.5
1 hour after: 26.7
Note: Nurse failed to find a vein, redid IV 4 times before doing each one individually
10/17:
Prolactin 3.67 (2.8-29.2)
09/19:
Free T4=.920 (0.7-1.7)
TSH=.920 (.45-4.5)
Testosterone= 29 (14-76)
Prolactin=6.73 (2.8-29)
Morning Fasting Cortisol=6.7
02/04:
TSH 1.14
Testosterone= 44
CBC within normal limits
FSH=2.41
LH=2.01
