On Hydrocortone steroids at the moment but off all other medications. App for Dgtt and Insulin Tolerance tests in January 2010 so fingers and toes crossed until then.

Hi Kissxxes,
Glad to hear that the after effects of your surgery weren't bad - it's amazing really isn't it, when you consider how invasive it is. It's still early days after surgery, and a shock like this to your system could easily have affected your periods, maybe once things have settled, they might return to normal again.
Unfortunately Acro does affect our hormones so much, and can cause a range of fertility problems, with the end result of an early menopause. Unfortunately I speak from bitter experience and only wish my consultant had caught this in it's earlier stages.
Take it easy and fingers crossed that all returns to nromal

Get Well Soon!
Hi Kissxxes
Glad that you're back home safe and well after your surgery. It's easier said than done, but try to relax and take it easy for a few days. Let's hope you're our little success story from this site.
Take care
Shelley

Support Groups
Close Acromegaly
I joined this group to try and find out more about acromegaly, to learn from other peoples experiences. I'm hoping it will help to talk to other people who share my problems because it's hard for people close to us to understand.
Treatments
- Octreotide Somewhat Helpful
- Had little or no reaction to Sandostatin during hospital tests, but was put on 3 daily injections of it while i awaited surgery which was supposed to happen within 6 weeks, got App to meet surgeon for over 6 months later so asked to be put on monthly injection. nausea and diarrhoea after daily ones but alot better on monthly except for fatigue on day of injection and pains in legs on last week of month.
