    I think mine started growing between 6th and 7th grade. When they found mine it was because started having seizures. It was 4cm by 3cm and my prolactin was 1041. Since Ive had it for so long, I didn't realize the symptoms. There are some good videos on youtube from people who have had them. I have depression, anxiety, pear shaped body,round face, no libido, and lack of energy. It is extremely hard to go through puberty at age 34. I don't relate to anyone.
