I suppose I should post this before I choose to ignore letting anyone know and running away. As some may have noticed I've had a post up for the last few months trying to get some answers on elevated serum prolactin levels over on the hrt section. Well after coming up with zip, I chose to on my own schedule a Humphrey Peripheral Vision Test for today. Loss of peripheral vision being a possible symptom of a developing prolactinoma (as it grows it presses on the optic nerve). I did this not so much to see if I had this, as I believed my rise in prolactin level to be just from estrogen incured breast development, I was going to just use this as a reference test for comparison to a later test.
Results not pointing in a good direction, I had zero negative errors, zero positive errors, but 17 fixation losses all falling in one small blind spot area for each eye. Still not too bad, could be beginning glaucoma, but then she said, "the problem is that the blind spot for both eyes fall within a straight line on the x axis (almost like someone used a ruler). The print out kinda looks like the crosshairs of a gunsight. Short explanation: blind spots both lined up with each other = possible pressure on optic nerve. World begins to collapse.......
She wants to confirm with another test in a week along with some kind of optic nerve test that may show if its glaucoma related. So next week will be one f__k of a week, this coming monday I'm scheduled for hernia surgery, then friday is this test, and the same day I get my blood test done to see what my new prolactin level is (wont know results till monday), then the next day tuesday is my hrt appointment.
My mind is sort of numb, I can't seem to let my thoughts to settle on the idea of continuing dressing the way I have just now started, knowing that without estrogen my looks will regress back.
I do not know how after 60 plus years, I finally find peace, only to have it pulled away. Things could go very bad, very fast.
