My problems began in my 20’s when I first began to put on weight, had irregular periods,
noticed more body and facial hair, and had episodes of depression. I was diagnosed as having
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (which presents similarly to Cushing’s Disease but is caused
by a very different disease process)

“Being diagnosed with a pituitary tumour was a relief. My family had jokingly called my enlarging hands and feet flippers.
I had grown two shoe sizes over a year!!
Thankfully my doctor identified the features of acromegaly and I am on the road to recovery following successful surgery by my pituitary specialist.”
