Eight years ago I had a Pituitary adneoma removed, I also was diagnosed 
with Chushings Syndrome.  I had nursed my youngest for about 3 years and 
continued to leak for eight to ten years after he weaned.  All tests, done 
at least 3 to 4 times, showed  normal prolactin levels.  It wasn't until 
the effects of the Cushings  became evident: panic attacks, anxiety, 
depression, unstable thyroid levels, weight gain, night sweats, hot 
flashes, insomnia, osteoporosis, tachycardia and continued leaking,  did 
the docs look outside the box.   The Cushings was a waxing  and waining 
situation so it was difficult to pinpoint. Once the tumor was removed 
...no more leaking. Just one senario....Happy Thanksgiving to all.
