mimi, it looks like I spoke to soon in my response to discussion 9 http://www.valuemd.com/viewtopic.php?t=14474
You did a great job bringing this concept together

Here is my guess which was also in my last answer:
TRH is a stimulator of PRL. So with primary hypothyroidism, where low T4 increases TSH and TRH, you'll see an increase in PRL as a result.
