Have you made a connection between ADHD and pituitary tumor? I have the tumor too and saw a young lady say once she resolved her low dopamine the tumor went away on its own!
I literally thought I was going crazy until I came across your channel! Thank you for your testimony! Im in the process of them prescribing me medication or surgery 😢 but Im definitely going to fast and pray and ask God! Im emotionally unstable, have really bad headaches and just feel so alone 😔 what tea do you drink during your fast?
I'm literally waiting on my order to arrive!!🎉🎉🎉 I'm having a bout with acne/hyperpimentation and I ran across these products. Happy to have found your review.
This sounds a lot like me. I haven't had an MRI yet however I received labs recently that my prolactin levels are high. I haven't had my cycle since November so about 4-5 months now and I've been very irregular since last January. At the time when I never irregular I was extremely stressed, I was working full time, doing doordash deliveries on the side and not getting enough sleep plus working out at 5:30 in the morning every week day. I'm hoping I can fix my issues naturally... Thank you for sharing your story, it gives me hope.
@@DoingLifeWithBridgette no problem 😊 I appreciate your response! Praying for our healing as well! I recently got labs done again and my prolactin levels have come down, there still high but much lower. First labs were 130 now they're at 68 as of this week. I did a couple fasts and I'm gonna do another end of the month for a week probably. Thank you again love for sharing your story and your support
Thank you for this review! Curious- did you say you use the eye cream as face cream? I’m so interested in this brand it’s def an investment purchase for me right now ❤
You are so welcome! Honestly you can use the eye cream as face cream. It has the same consistency. It is worth the investment and yes it is an investment but so so worth it. I had horrible skin before this and now I have no issues.
@@IAmHisBeloved5 when I brought the product it wasn’t to sell it. I just needed help. I didn’t document my before skin because again I wasn’t thinking anything would work or even if I would share this journey. Now I wish I would have documented my skin journey because wow, this had made a HUGE difference.
Stop the liberalism!!!!! If you have to speak to your kids more than once and it’s a yell? If they don’t, IMMEDIATELY, respond, they get a spanking! Period! This could actually save their life, especially in an emergency!
For the record....I'm WAY more conservative than you even know. I wouldn't label based on ONE video. I would suggest you listen to the entire video on my Tik Tok page here: www.tiktok.com/@doinglifewithbridgette2/video/7314791922571250990?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=7299210451584796202
This is a wonderful message. I completely agree. My husband and I work on our stuff all the time because we have a kid to raise and we love each other. But we also realize that kids see everything so you need to put a good example forward. That may mean you need to work on yourself and your relationship. I feel so incredibly fortunate to have a family that communicates even when it's hard. I know that every single member of my nuclear family is there for me and I am there for them. My family didn't come in to existence magically like that. We worked on it. We talked about things. We talked about uncomfortable things. We still talk about these things I was needed to do this day because that's how we keep the relationships solid and safe.
I'm typing this as you talking. I got diagnose right after my sister was diagnose with postpartum psychosis while I'm ajusting to being a mom of two not going to get to the finacial part. I wish I can afford a natural doctor for this. Keep me in your prayers sis. Thank for making this video. 🙏
Amen. I am dealing with this as well. No one will ever understand what we going through.. I am praying for my healing as well. I was looking for a recent video🙏. With God all things are possible. Amen
So this was 3 years ago. I was recently diagnosed with the same. How are you today? Endocrinoligist says she wants me to start taking this drug, but I'm experiencing virtually no physical symptoms of male hyperprolactinemia. I'm going to seriously reconsider taking this medication.
I’ve had my tumor 4mm diagnosis in 2000. If you can wait to have another child I would. Bromocriptine was horrible. I had mini seizures. I didn’t have that with Cabergoline- however, my endocrinologist took me off of it last year and my body is not reacting well to that. More migraines, fever, head pains and now I have Trigeminal Neuralgia- which is the worse pain I’ve ever experienced- After the treatments I did have twins and 22 months later my son but I wasn’t trying to have more children- it was tough. They are now 18, 19, 19.
Hi there! Thank you so much for this video! I keep on hearing that finding a coamfte program is important yet it wasn't made clear as to why it's important. I'm currently in graduate school and I reached out to my advisor and asked her. She said it was important if you were thinking of going on for a PhD, which I'm not interested in. Congratulations on your 10 year anniversary! It must feel wonderful to have your husband on this journey with you! Also, one more question, I'm taking my classes online and am having a difficult time connecting with the other students in my school. Were there any online resources you used? Maybe this wasn't important to you because you have your husband but in case you had any tips I'd love to hear them!
Sorry for my late reply. I've been taking a social media break. I would say get involved in local organizations maybe a nearby college or even think of creating your own group. I am finding connecting with my local church to be a great place. Congrats on your journey! Wishing you well! :-)
Hey... First thanks a lot for sharing, its strong. I was diagnosed with It 3 years ago, took cabergolina for 10 months and now its back. I must say i understand all the coments and reflections about the effects of the meditation but for me the sadness with the high prolactine is unverable... So i would say in my case its worth It!
Sorry for my late reply....surgery is just to risky being that it is so close to my brain and eye. Another friend had it and now his eye is out of alignment with the other one.
What a metaphor. As you’re describing the torment of this, your children are screaming. This is such a hard journey. What sucks is life doesn’t wait for you. It keeps happening. It doesn’t care that you’re out of it today.
I just found out I have a tumor also I’m way to scared to take that medication. I’ve already had a stroke now I got this tumor in my brain. Any advice from anyone please I feel lost and don’t know what to do help!!!
Hey you’ll need to take the medication treat it. I have it and the medication has helped despite the harsh side effects at the beginning. You can watch the video I did on my channel for some info All the best
Just try to remember that if it’s possible, if the Girl could meet another Princess like at a Princess Party, try to look for the following 3 Dresses if you don’t already have them. 1: Tiana Dress 2: Rapunzel Dress 3: Aurora Dress
Thanks so much for talking about this. I also have a pituitary tumor and take Cabergaline and it sucks so very much! Thanks for helping me to feel less alone 🙏🏻 I can so relate to the irritability and overly emotionality and it is good to remember that it’s not me as a defective or bad person, it’s the medication and endocrine/tumor problem. It really messes up your social/relational life which is devastating. Thanks for sharing 🙏🏻
Thank you for sharing your story I also have a prolactinoma but I have not been taking any medicine for it although I do struggle with depression and anger issues I also am very short tempered and frustrated easily and agitated it’s come to the point to where I’m not sure what to do I don’t want to get surgery either but I’m thanking you for making this video you were not alone
I am new to homeschooling. I homeschool 3rd and 9th grades. We started July 2021. We use Time4Learning. I love it. But as you said I too need structure but also the freedom to step outside. We supplement with educational videos, online resources that my daughter's public school used during remote learning and free resources I've been learning about from watching homeschool videos. We also put the learning into hands on practice. All the best to you during your homeschool journey. Pray and God will lead. Homeschooling is fun. I enjoy it🙂
I was diagnosed with this in 2014 and have not had more than two. Since I took medicine for a few months and then stopped I guess I’m just dealing with it which I’m not sure of the repercussions and I’m at the point now where I am also dealing with other symptoms such as frequent urination Salvation in the mouth I hope I’m not sure if that’s related to this diagnosis but also very frustrated and the mood swings are horrible the doctors told me I’m basically going through menopause but I’m not I’m only 37 years old
I came across this and its been hard for me. Me and my hubby are trying to start a family. Im now on cabergoline for 3 weeks. How long does it take to get pregnant? Im trying to find others with this diagnosis!
I received my results two months ago .. and I started taking medication for it .. and my body started fighting against to medication .. I had bad secondary symptoms.. my doctor had to stop it .. I will have to do another blood test and another MRI in November and see how my prolactinoma is .. and she said we will decide what to do then .. I’m scared .. I cry at night sometimes ..
Hi Mai Gi! What secondary side effects did you have? I have been noticing a lot of stomach issues with mine and also I have been running a fever. Did you experience this?
@@FreckledxLove hey ! Well I used to feel super tired and exhausted all day … when I used to wake up with my eyes all swallow and barely couldn’t open them .. Around 5 or 6 pm I used to feel super dizzy and my left eye used to start closing for no reason and around 7 I used to fall asleep until next day .. and stil after a deep sleep I usted to get up with energy and more tired .. so my doctor told me to stop with the medication and keep exercising and eating healthier.. have enough sleep and try to not get stressed.. I gotta see my doctor again next month .. I will have to do another blood test .. one more MRI and then we will decide what’s next … ☹️☹️☹️…
Thank you for being open and honest about your prolactinoma I have it too I was on cabergoline for a while finally conceived my divine child now I’m post baby off of cab and feeling similar symptoms now I’m going to try vitex berry to try a different approach because I expressed to my dr. What I am feeling and she said I am fine bec the numbers are low but knowing what I know she probably can’t do much until my symptoms or numbers get out of wack but I do not want that to happen so I’m going to try the herbal approach and watch the dosage with vitex I hope you can possibly also try it and I hope this helps . Your doing great it’s a battlefield but all of us prolactin women got this slow and steady
Oh darling even one toddler can be hard without any additional health troubles...But two! You are amazing ❤️ my sister has been diagnosed with prolactinoma in 2019 after 10 years of misdiagnoses, she is going through divorce and lots of stuff atm...She stopped taking the same meds you are on because she had enough of the side effects. Her recent results are through the roof. I offered her to check with the doc re bromorciptine...as the other meds making her very dizzy, sick and fainty...Thank you for sharing your story with us. God bless you ❤️ take a good care of yourself. Hugs
Wooow. Thank you soooooo much for sharing. God bless u my dear. Now it makes perfect sense of my emotional stress and how I feel sometimes with frustration and irritated to noice especially with kids around. I feel u. I have 3 kid, which 2 of them are toddlers, and 1 almost 8.. May the Lord help u and all of us struggling with this condition. It's not easy. The only thing that sometime help is PRAYERS.. AS SOON I am starting to get emotionally out of no where, I will pray or listen to encouraging music.. I am now starting to understand this condition because I was never the way I feel sometimes and started to search and look for information even though I am not diagnosed yet as my doctor said my prolactin level was just elevated but not too bad. But the symptoms push me to look for more info. I pray you get better soon. God Loves you. Sharing your story alone is a blessing. Thanks once again.
