Radiation only hits one specific area of the body. It doesn't affect everything at once, and hair loss isn't caused by radiation—it comes from chemotherapy

My experience with Sunburst was actually great, and I have nothing but praise for the kind staff, nurses, and doctors, except for Nurse Cherry at reception 😠
it’s honestly hard to deal with that much arrogance, unprofessionalism, and rudeness all coming from one person in a role like that 👎
Otherwise, everyone else is incredibly professional and friendly, creating such a welcoming atmosphere—it's just a shame she ruins it

I always keep some baby powder in my bag—specifically the kind meant to prevent chafing and rashes. Whenever I get the chance, I just dab a little on the inside of my thighs. Since I started doing that, the chafing has completely disappeared. My main issue has always been dealing with thicker legs. 😁

maybe, if I'm out running errands downtown, then I'll pick up some Jane...

That's exactly how I handle it too.👍

I’ve had this thing for over two years now, and honestly, I have no clue what it actually is. It doesn't grow, it doesn't hurt, and it isn't causing me any trouble, so I just leave it alone. 😎

To be honest, I heard there’s another version of that medication for lowering prolactin, but I never really looked into it. I managed to get my body used to the one I'm on, and since my endocrinologist prescribed it, I stuck to it like glue. Honestly, the idea of a "tumor" just freaked me out too much. 😲
My best advice is to definitely talk to your doctor before you try any different therapy. You can't mess around with your hormones. Plus, you really need to figure out what's causing your prolactin levels to spike like that in the first place.

Here’s someone who’s actually on Bromergon 😳
So, here’s my experience. I started out with just one pill before bed, and did that for a week. Then, the following week, I bumped it up to two pills—one in the morning and one at night. After two weeks, I moved to three pills spread throughout the day. Honestly, I didn't deal with much nausea. I just tapered the dose down as my prolactin levels dropped, and now I’m just staying steady on one pill a day. My situation is a bit different since they found a microadenoma on my pituitary MRI, which is why my prolactin is high in the first place.
As for taking two pills right before sleep—I wouldn't really recommend that. Just try to hang in there; the nausea usually passes once your body gets used to it 😘

I'm so sorry 😢
My sincere condolences

I remember a time when I wasn't taking any Vitamin C, and I didn't deal with constipation at all. It probably just comes down to how your body works, but I definitely didn't see any improvement in my iron levels either. Once I started taking PlivitC, both my digestion and my iron absorption improved almost immediately. If you're dealing with any kind of anemia, it's really important to take them together to make sure everything actually gets absorbed.

My doctor told me I absolutely have to take it alongside PlivitC!
For me, that's honestly the only way it actually works. 👍

As far as Tunis goes, I know you don't need any vaccinations.

I would definitely suggest packing some stomach meds and anti-diarrheals, though. 😁

Magnesium always does the trick for me 👍

Hey!
Just wanted to share something from a fellow member of my high-prolactin support group 😎
I was dealing with high prolactin levels, so I worked it out with my endocrinologist to spend a few days at the hospital for some full testing. They did a CT scan of my pituitary gland and spotted a little spot... then I went to get an MRI in NYC and that was the end of my diagnostic journey 🙏 they found a 3 mm microadenoma on my pituitary. I was prescribed Bromocriptine—started at one pill three times a day, then moved to twice a day, and now I'm down to once a day. My period has been acting up again lately, which has me a bit worried, so I’m planning to head back soon for more hormone testing to see where things stand.
I'm assuming you're a woman? 😉 Have you ever given birth? Prolactin can really mess with getting pregnant.

The doctor probably just wants to be 100% sure about everything since an ultrasound can't always give you the full picture. I wouldn't say a biopsy is harmful. Don't worry, it’s better to get a detailed analysis so you can have some peace of mind. Plus, it doesn't even hurt and it's over in about ten seconds—at least that was my experience. 😘 🙂

I’ve had mine for about 10 years now. I kept a really close eye on it for a while, but lately, I just monitor it with ultrasounds and everything looks fine. Mine is 7 mm, and my doctor told me there's no need for surgery.

I’d honestly rather pay a homeopath than bribe some doctor just to get seen. As for demand—I have to wait and book appointments weeks in advance with my homeopath, and they’re always fully booked. As long as the treatment works for me and everyone else I know, I really don't care what people say about how their medicines are made 🙂. Besides, a full consultation costs around $150-$$67, and that includes the remedies. If I tried handing that kind of cash to a regular doctor, I doubt they’d even let me through the door... though with much larger amounts, they might make an exception, but that's a different story entirely. At the end of the day, people have voted with their wallets, which is why these practitioners are still around. If it works for you, go for it. To me, homeopathy works. 👋

I'm not quite sure what to say, but it’s well-known that it works for little kids and even animals, so I don't know if you can really call it a placebo effect... besides, it’s approved in plenty of countries and was even recognized by the World Health Organization not that long ago. At the end of the day, I think all that matters is that it helps people. Personally, I use it quite a bit 🙏

My primary care doctor sent me over to an endocrinologist, and they ended up ordering a full panel of hormone tests. I actually had to stay in the hospital for a few days just to get some of those tests completed 🙂

I sent you a DM, hope it reached you 😉

I know for a fact that there are some great homeopathic doctors from Russia over at the Wellness Center. I’ve actually been in to see them myself—they are incredible diagnosticians, and honestly, I’ve been feeling so much better since I started using their products. They have locations on both Draskovic and Field Road.
