- Anyone else ever come across this? I don't know if they're doing it consciously. But it seems like there's this unspoken thing where they look at you in a rather intimate way even if it's just to say hello. It's almost as if all the normal social...
- I'm only borderline acromegaly. I show some symptoms but not others. I do have a pituitary tumor, but it's rather small at 6mm. My blood glucose level fails to suppress only the first one or two times on the test; my IGF-1 levels are at the low...
- Anyone here ever been in one? I know there are some obvious challenges. I'm middle-aged but still seem to attract the desiring gazes of younger gentlemen. It's flattering, of course, but I'm wondering if it's just better to appreciate it for what...
- I haven't posted on here in a while. Anyway, I know a few people who came out later in life--usually in their 40s, it seems. I'm wondering if anyone else on here is either in that same category themselves or knows of others like that and can shed...
- Hello, everyone.I want to say thanks for all your supportive and informative messages. Thanks to your suggestions I'm going to see an acromegaly specialist at Cedars Sinai in L.A. next Wednesday for a second opinion on my diagnosis. I was...
- Hello.I'm new to this group. I just got diagnosed today with acromegaly. I could barely even type that word--part of me knew I probably have it, but I've been dreading hearing it from the doctor. The receptionist wouldn't even say the word over...
- Hello.I've been on cabergoline for almost two years now for a small prolactinoma (about 6 mm--but that is based on my last MRI which was well over a year ago). In the last couple of months I've noticed some symptoms resurfacing after all this...
- I've been seeing a therapist for over a year now. At first I felt I was getting something positive out of it. But in the past few months I've been feeling like I'm just spinning my wheels. I've said all I've had to say. I don't feel like my...
- I've been on Dostinex for about five months now, and while my prolactin levels have been restored to normal, my most recent MRI shows that my tumor has actually grown a little bit--from 4 mm to 6mm. I was under the impression that the meds were...
- Does anyone know if prolactinomas correlate with any other kind/s of condition/s? Or do they seem to be a pretty isolated phenomenon? I'm just wondering if I can expect some other conditions to appear down the line while I'm currently being...
- Has anyone else had IGF-1 issues along with your prolactinoma? I've been on Dostinex for about four months now and, while my prolactin has dropped down to the normal range, my IGF-1 has gone up and down. I just got my latest test results today and...
- I know this is kind of a depressing topic, but does anyone else out there have this? I try to stay positive that I'll meet someone special, but it's so hard sometimes. Relationships have never really been my strong suit. I suppose I should make...
- Just curious. Has anyone had success dating someone who is their opposite in some respect--personality type, socioeconomic background, age? I've read that while it is possible for opposites to successfully manage a relationship, in general people...
- A post for the males out there or for loved ones of males on lipitor: has anyone noticed testosterone problems once on lipitor? I've been on lipitor for several years now and, stupid me, I didn't associate the testosterone problems I had been...
- Hello, all. Does anyone know of any gay network for medical help?--that my insurance will pay for, of course. I've been treated recently by an endocrinologist for a health condition, but I can't help feeling that a gay or gay-friendly specialist...
