Prolactin

[sheri796]

I have tested 3 times my levels were 156 then 99 then 105. Seen an Endocrinologist,he had me do a 24 hr Urine test. Then he said I will see him in 4 months to do another test. I did a MRI,no tumors. I am so tired most times,just not myself

I am just shocked if your Dr. has not started you on a medication for your prolactin. As rumpled said a lot of MRI's won't show the tumor because of how small they typically are.  Your 3 test results are all in the exact range of an endocrinologist dream perfect scenerio for diagnosis of a tumor.  Rumpled and I had much lower prolactin amounts yet still with a tumor.  Mine was 50.5 and yet my Dr. still did MRI and started me on Cabergoline (Dostinex).

I also have thryroid problems and other endocrine issues that cause me to be very tired and have weight gain.  You need all things tested and treated... Good luck!

See another doctor.
Did you get copies of all the tests he ran? What was the 24 hour test? Did he test your thyroid (thoroughly that is)?
40% of tumors do not show up on MRIs - either because they fall between the slices or the radiologist misses them. You may still have one.
Did he give you the medications to lower prolactin or not?
