complaining of oligomenorrhea and galactorrhea. She refers that “I’m having irregular
menstrual periods, sometimes twice in a month and others, every two or three months. At this
moment, I do not have menstruation for the last two months. I am having milky discharges in
both breast nipples for approximately two months”. She also refers that “I am suffering from
headaches that are increasing in frequency and intensity. I am having blurred vision and hair
growth in my face, too.” Patient explains that is using Fioricet for pain when headache is
intense, because acetaminophen is not effective controlling it. The patient refers that these

the MRI with her. She did not go back to the PCP with the results, because her mother is sick
