Hello, had my appointment finally with endocrinlogist yesterday.He was  agreed that I need an overhaul and commended me on my detective work thus far. He stated   I did not look particularly Acro but agreed that I needed screening. He says his 3 acro patients all look related but stated this may simply be because they are at an more advanced stage of disease.  He saw marked changes of my appearance in the 3 photos I showed him of 10 years ago, 2007 and current. He commented on my weight gain:(, but in a nice manner. Basically he said we may find something or nothing and that alll the problems may not be related , which is fair enough as most major ones have always been treated independantly, but he did agree that I have alot of symptoms of something going on. I had more bloods taken and asked for 3 x 24hr urine tests for cortisol as Cushings is another query.  So next thurs is the 4 hr OGGT. Not doing much of anything between working as  joints seem to go mad and lots muscle pains. Think my body rebelling at nightshifts and 12 hour days. Still sweating  at merest activity like i've been out running haha I wish!!! Right old sweaty betty at work when everyone else moaning about being cold. Just feels so minging at times.Hair slicked back and always dabbing my brow. So used to this now I foundit weird when nurses keep saying " are you okay, go get a drink and sit down"   or "are you on the change?". I'm 32   guess its possible.....Hey ho thats me for now, Moley
