I just got a message from my Doctor at my local GP, they sent me a SMS message saying they want me to have an urgent MRI scan to check my prolactin. I am very scared 😢
Hi it seems like the last post was correct, they want to do an MRI of your pituitary gland. It's a tiny gland in your head that sits beneath your brain. I had an MRI of mine earlier this month. The scan itself is ok although a little noisy. The hardest part is keeping still while they do it.
Please don't be scared. It's just an MRI. Whatever they're suspecting about your prolactin level can't be too serious. If it's off one way or the other, I'm sure it can be adjusted.
@Courtney22 it is. I had to have all kinds of blood work done, they were worried it was a pituitary tumor. Fortunately it wasn't. My psychiatrist just switched me to aripiprazole and that fixed it.
@Courtney22 I'm a big sissy about doctors and medical tests. But I have learned it's always better, and easier, to just go and get it over with. The chances are it's nothing.
