> I have a mother with a small inoperable prolactinoma. She conceived her
> first child by using Parlodel and then used it again to wean, but it
took
> a very long time and she suffered from the usual side effects ie
> headaches, nausea etc.
> She is now trying to wean her second baby who is 12mo and is down to one
> feed per day, but last week got mastitis and would like to know if there
> is anything else she can do apart from taking parlodel (still allowed
here
> in Australia). She could go onto the estrogen pill, but her consulant
> doesn't really want her to take this as eventually she would like a
third
> baby.
> I would really appreciate some information from anyone with experience
of
> this.
