MRI Results ... and pure randomness

I have been cleared of having a tumor! Yay! The only thing I was concerned about was the fact that she said everything looked normal at the pituitary gland and BRAIN...I just find that hard to believe, after all I have always thought that my brain was functioning a bit better than "normal" =)

My medication to lower my prolactin levels has been switched from Cabergoline to Parlodel. The new medicine does not have the same side effects for me...thank goodness! I couldn't function twice a week when I was taking the other medicine where as now I am tired and drowsy, but I think I will still be able to work. Garsh! I will be so glad when this is over... after I do IVF, I am so done monitoring my hormones, in fact I don't even want the word mentioned around me...it will be considered a curse word in my presence!

We are now just waiting until day 1 so I can get my baselines, ultra sound and prolactin checked again....I just want to proceed already

Kindergarten Cop

Remember in Kindergarten Cop when Arnold Schwarzenegger said, "It's not a tuma"...well, that's what I keep telling myself...
Due to my high prolactin, Dr. Honea has ordered an MRI so I can be checked for a tumor on the Pituitary Gland. I'm pretty stressed out, but at the same time, I'm fine with it...like everything will be fine, I guess I feel comforted...that's the word I was looking for. It just seems like all of this is happening in slow motion. Almost like I'm on the outside looking in, watching these events transpire. There's nothing I can do but watch it all happen...
I don't even know for sure yet... My appointment is Wednesday morning at 8 am so we shall see...
