Experiences with

Acromegaly

Buffalo Hump, symptoms of Cushings and acromegaly. Neck also swollen. Blood work normal at current time but previously diagnosed with Graves

what does the high IGF1 mean if it is not acromegaly?

His blood results were showing high prolactin and a suspicion of acromegaly. The plan has been changed to dual medication: Cabergoline tablets and monthly Stomastatin injections, both .with many side effects. To review after 6 months then if no shrinkage then radiography.

The 3rd time she requested a fasting blood test to test IFG1 to rule out acromegaly and it came back within range. She tested it 6 months later and its high again. My calcium is also high this time as well as cholesterol and HDL cholesterol.

Ig1f was raised 2 years ago .Still under investigation.. had pituitary mri...had..... gh suppression test aswell and acromegaly and all the other hormones checked.. Only thing was out was ig1f at the time So they are now re checking again as I its been 2 years So got more tests to come.

I would like to know if there other women who have the condition called familial acromegaly. I inherited that condition from my father and it never bothered him that he had large facial bones.

,sat there in front of him I look too healthy,if I had had it for the last five years I would look dreadful.I replied that not everyone presents with the enlarged extremities and he said every one with acromegaly does actually!

sentence,this got me thinking about a DEXA scan I had as part of a well woman check I had in my 50th year.The results came back that my bones are a third larger than they should be so I was sent for another one to double check(same result came back)and then to a specialist to check to see if I had acromegaly

Family history of Hashimoto’s, underactive thyroid, Cushing’s disease and Acromegaly. Wanting to choose the right specialist on my work’s list. Can anyone message me directly about these specialists and their experiences? Any general advice most welcome.

Hashimoto’s, acromegaly, Cushing’s disease, endometriosis. I definitely feel better when I don’t eat bread, pasta and potatoes. Sugary things can make me feel bad, in particular jelly sweets and ice cream (no idea why!).

It's used to treat acromegaly. A hormone overgrowth which causes large bones. Now, I know I have big feet but come on - that's a bit cheeky. So, I asked the doc when she visited - the loo handle one with the rubbish English - and she looked quite shocked that I had bothered to look it up.

Unlike height variation across the normal range, acromegaly is abnormal growth due to the pituitary gland secreting unusually high amounts of growth hormone [GH] [2]. "A nationwide cohort study (1978-2010) including 529 acromegaly cases was performed."

I've read that mildly high IGF1 can be linked to diabetes or hypothyroidism, interested in ruling out possible acromegaly. I would greatly appreciate any input. He is a smart young man but I am worried about his health.

My brother has Acromegaly for more than 20 years now. His wife Ekaterina runs Velikan, the Russian pituitary patient organization. And I participate in global pituitary patient activities.

Now I still have high pth and high igf1 which points to acromegaly or a problem with the pituitary. I am having another blood test in january to confirm this.
