Bloodwork Update -- Low Prolactin -- Dostinex

| The following is a history of my bloodwork in the time that has passed
since I found I had Low T and High Prolactin. I hope the format is OK.
If it looks like crap in your reader you can cut and past it into
notepad using the courier typeface.

Nov02 138 (241-827) 3.39 (5-21) 38 (2.1-17.7)
BROMO bumped to 5mg nightly (11/14/02)
Dec02 207 (300-1000) 3.70 (8.7-55) 39.3(1.6-18.8)
Start DOSTINEX (12/18/02) .25mg twice weekly
I weigh 370 pounds

DOSTINEX bumped to .5mg twice weekly
Mar03 32.1 (2.1-17.7)
DOSTINEX Bumped to .75 mg twice weekly on 3/7/03
Jun03 230 (241-827) 4.00 (5-21) 24.4 (2.1-17.7)
I weigh 330

I weigh 308
Feb04 328 (241-827) 20.1 (2.1-17.7)

I weigh 269 pounds
Feb05 464 (281-827) 15.73 (5-21) 3.39(1-2.7) 11.5 (2.1-17.7)
Jun05 10.1 (2.1-17.7)
During my most recent bloodwork I was not tested for testosterone. As
I typically am, I expected it and didn't request it specifically.
In any case, without treatment changing my Prolactin continues to
drop. I assume my Testosterone has increased a bit as well.
My current weight is 265 lbs, giving me a drop of 5lbs since October.
This is not a lot, however, in November I purchased a scale that gives
a body fat measurement and my body fat has decreased by 5% during this
time. (And, while I would never trust an OTC body fat scale while
training for the Olympics, for day-to-day trends I think it's probably
OK. My first measure was 29% and it gradually has dropped to 24%. It
never went 29, 32, 24, 29 etc ... it was a gradual and consistent
drop. So, while I may never have been exact, it did show a gradual
decline.)

Damn fine show, D Hamilton!! Ther have been a few other cases in here over
the last few years that mimic yours.
Excess prolactin is a problem that doesn't seem to be uncommon, however
fairly easy to control. The weight loss is nothing short of great. I had
some gradual weight loss after going on the T-cypionate (I'm a primary
hypogonadnal), and a nice muscle gain.
Keep up the good work and keep us posted.
