Today, November 1, is Acromegaly Awareness Day. Acromegaly is caused by excess production of growth hormone in adults, usually due to a tumour on the pituitary gland. Join us in sharing resources to raise awareness + reduce the time to get treated. #AcromegalyAwarenessDay

Acromegaly can cause a wide range of symptoms, from diabetes to headaches to sleep apnea. If you or someone you know is experiencing several of these symptoms, speak with your doctor and ask about an IGF-1 test. #AcromegalyAwarenessDay #Acromegaly #Pituitary #RareDisease

It's #AcromegalyAwarenessDay. While rare, the condition is underdiagnosed, leading to years of suffering as individuals seek answers. Improved diagnostic tools + increased awareness means faster access to treatment...and fuller lives. Visit AcromegalyCanada.ca for more.

Acromegaly can feel overwhelming + isolating, for patients + caregivers. "I've just been diagnosed--never heard of acromegaly." "My partner is having pituitary surgery--what is recovery like?" Visit AcromegalyCanada.ca to find support near you. #AcromegalyAwarenessDay

"You don't look like you have acromegaly!" A common hurdle in an #acromegaly diagnosis is outdated perceptions. People with acromegaly may have only slight changes to their appearance, especially if caught early. Thanks to Beverley Norman for this! #AcromegalyAwarenessDay
