Acromegaly Support Group
Acromegaly (from Greek akros "high" and megas "large" - extremities enlargement) is a hormonal disorder that results when the pituitary gland produces excess growth hormone (hGH). Acromegaly most commonly affects middle-aged adults and can result in serious illness and premature death. Join the group to discuss symptoms, diagnosis, and treatments.
It appears we have had several new members in the past couple of months. It makes me curious as to why that is. Are some of the efforts that I know people are making to increase awareness starting to have effect? I'd be interested to know three things from our members:
1) How did you find this web site? (Google search, doctor, friend?)
2) Which professional first picked up on your acro?
3) How many members currently reside in Texas?
