THE BEGINNING

Its difficult to pinpoint when my symptoms started.

Must have been many years ago.

The weight gain, changes in facial appearance was so gradual. My rings couldn't fit, my shoe size increased by 1 size. I attributed all these to my weight gain.

In 2003, I was diagnosed as having rheumatoid arthritis by a rheumatalogist . Maybe that was when the disease started.

In 2007, I had a operation , sigmoid colon resection due to diverticular disease ? another sign missed??

I'm 48 and still suffering from acne, another symptom of acromegaly. I have thick oily skin.

Headaches for as long as I can remember, really horrible ones.
my husband complains that of late I've been snoring.

Luckily no eye complaints and no tongue swelling.
