I am Curious about ACROMEGALY. While I am waiting to get here I found some bloodwork by my MD:
I am borderline high.
IGF 1, ECL testing is
233 Reference Range 26-233
Calcium 10.5 8.6-10.2 high
sodium 134 135-146 low
chloride 95 98-110 low
I have Very Large Hands and feet and now my rings do not fit and my shoe size has gotten bigger. Feet have gotten larger over the years. 20 yrs or so ago I wore 7.5 now about 9-9.5 depending on the shoe. Last year I had bone start breaking off from inside my mouth around the lower ridge. Painful! Short Stature only 5'2" and shrinking, But heavy big boned. RoundMoon face that used to be more heart shaped. And Weight Gain. Always hungry for sweets. Large bags under eyes. Parotid Issues, Thick Cuticles, hands and toes.
My endo mentioned this word Acromegaly and even circled these numbers and said I am borderline high. But did not do any other testing. I looked up symptoms and I have about 98% of them. Including that profuse sweating!!! Who knows about this. I also read some indications of parathyroid and adrenal???? Not worried, just curious -sass-
