Acromegaly/Cabergoline

Hello,
I've had years and years of chronic neck/shoulder/head pain.  I had anterior fusion C5&6 & C6&7....after years and years of doctors and being on neurontin I went to an endocrinologist because my blood sugars were whacked (high and low)....she referred me to Stanford after an abnormal blood test revealed i had high levels of IGF-1 growth hormone.  Stanford says I have acromegaly.  I've been started on low dose of dopamine (cabergoline) and my neck pain has gotten worse.  Has anyone had any problems with this drug?

Sorry to hear of your disorder. I too have acromegaly, and have neck and head pain that keeps getting worse.  I believe it is one of the side effects of the disorder, among a hundred other insidious things. I am not on medicine, will be shortly but I believe I am going on LAR.  Good Luck to  you.
