Dear Friends:
Some tragic cases are posted in today's LACTNET.
We must also remember that a mother suffering with this syndrome must be
on hormone replacement therapy for the rest of her life. The pituitary is
called the Master Gland because it makes so many hormones: oxytocin (I wonder what
happens to the emotions of a person with a ruined pituitary gland) and
prolactin as we have seen and also thyroid and parathyroid hormones.
warmly,
Nikki Lee RN, MS, Mother of 2, IBCLC, CCE, CIMI
