Hi everyone, 5 years ago I was diagnosed w/thyroid cancer (on the right side) they took it out and biopsied the left side. There they discovered a second type of thyriod cancer (there are only 3 types), 2 months later took the left side out. I have no thyroid or parathyroid, my synthroid is ment to fool my body into thinking I have thyroid hormones. So my body is constantly hypothyroid. Okay now I find out my pituitary glad had a 10mm tumor on it and my prolactin levels are 5,000. 55 is considered high, normal I think is abt 10-15. I am taking Bromocriptine 3x daily. I know high prolactin and hypothyroid are connected, although I don't really undertand how. I know high prolactin causes weight gain, which cauaes elevated prolactin levels, which cauaes weight gain.....in a vicious circle.
I am wondering if ANYONE else his/is dealing with this also. I am scared and worried about what it means for my weight loss plans.
