I do not understand *!*!*!*!the idea that the pituitary might "squash" the effect *!*!*!*!of the reglan; am I missing something here? If they *!*!*!*!have written this mom off, have they decided what is *!*!*!*!not working properly? My impression is that they have decided that the problem is with her pituitary and it is too dangerous to try to fix it *just* for the sake of breastfeeding. The attitude seems to be that "it is what it is" and that she will always have a non-lactating level of prolactin due to whatever is wrong with her pituitary - so be it. There seems no genuine concern about WHAT is wrong. Again, this is mostly second hand through Mom. But my impression about the "squash" comment is just that the pituitary is so dysfunctional that it will work to LOWER her prolactin levels back down to where they should be (non-lactating) in order to counter the Reglan. This sounds SO bogus to me but I have no medical info to counter it or back it up. Does anyone know the relationship between Hashimotos and the pituitary? Oh and someone else asked - can't remember if I updated - but her testosterone tested normal. She does not have PCOS or diabetes or any other disease that she knows of, other than Hashimoto's.
