Sue - really nothing to worry about. I had migraines for years, not sure why - but don't have them now after being put on Dostinex to lower my prolactin levels. I too had an MRI of my brain/pituitary gland. There was a small mass (not uncommon) on my pituitary gland, causing the elevated levels, plus other problems. Sure they will put you on something like that to lower your levels & that will in turn shrink the mass if you have one. Hope that helps calm any nerves - I was worried before the MRI, too. But not to worry - really ! Let us know ! Best wishes to both of you !
