    • Close Acromegaly

      Just a few months since a tumor was suspected, now confirmed along with the acromegaly, by IGF1 levels way out of range. There are so many things that have plagued me over the years that can relate back to it: sleep apnea, extremely increased shoe & ring sizes, enlarged heart, facial changes, recent diabetes and multiple cartilage problems. I am hopeful that the endocrinologist was right when she said I'll be a new woman when we get this under control.

    • Close Migraine Headaches

      Migraines cripple my life and seem to be a family curse that each of my children has inherited

      Treatments

      Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Somewhat Helpful
      Usually have pattern of poor eating, no sleeping, high stress
      Fioricet Too Soon to Tell
      Imitrex Working / Worked
      Injections work, but leary of using them and the pills don't work
      Inderal Somewhat Helpful
      reduced the intensity & frequency of the migraines and made me MISERABLE and left hypertension uncontrolled.
      Topamax Somewhat Helpful
      This seems to be making a major difference although it took a while and it is hard for me to remember to take meds at night which is when I was told to take it
