    About Me

    diagnosed with acromegaly a year ago now, not doing so bad , i have my up and down moments like everyone else. fighting depression, have two lovely children and a husband who tries his best in everything. since seeing my medium i am finding myself again, i have become a spiritual person and i have the poem footprints in the sand close by to help me through my very low points. no im not religious just spiritual (there is a big difference) would like to make new friends who see me as me not my appearance.

    • Close Acromegaly

      diagnosed with acromegaly last year,went from half a tablet a week to 2 whole tablets a week, a brain scan and plenty of 4 hour blood tests... the tablets did the job a little but didnt bring my levels right down so now im going on the somatuline autogel shots once a month. my IGF 1 For my age it should be between 13.0 and 64.0 when i was diagnosed it was 124.0 the lowest they got it to was 71.1 so nearly was there but my last blood was 81.3 so it elevated a bit.
