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.
Just wondering, after your IGF-1 normalized, at what point did everything that was going to change change? I only had a couple of skin tags, one which was just starting and very small. They shrank, and then seemed to have stopped shrinking, or it is happening so slowly that it is almost imperceptible. Did your skin tags go away? The crease in my forehead is still pretty evident. The naso labial folds got better, but again, I don't think there have been much, if any changes in the last 3 months. 9 months on the Somavert, Is this as good as it's going to get? -fkm-
It's been 3 years since tumor removal for me.
None of my skintags shrank. My toungue is still oversized. My joint pain has increased, not decreased. Before I start sounding too depressing, my energy level went up and I am in remission. Anyway, just trying to say, I don't think things ever go back to "normal". But I have a better outlook on life than before. I just had to learn to accept the changes in my body.
But everybody is different. I've met people that had almost no signs of acro. Maybe it will just a little while.

Don't know about the other stuff, but just wanted to tell you this in case you weren't aware of what can be done about them.
