Getting an MRI to see if my prolactinoma has shrunk.
Oh god, good luck!!!
Eh, MRI's aren't bad. Just lay in a tube for 45 minutes while giant magnets whir around and take images of the brain / body.
The prolactinoma is benign, but screws with hormones a lot. Prolactin being the inverse of dopamine and testosterone explains a lot about the last several years, so glad to be getting back to normal. Thankfully, the excess prolactin has never caused me to lactate either, which is a common symptom of high prolactin.
Thankfully got to spice up the weekend with a guys' night, so that was fun.
I really hope you recover completely and have many more guys' nights ahead of you. :)
Aww thanks! Back is already feeling better, though still sore.
