Noticeable changes in a short time period

It was only after I was diagnosed with Acromegaly that my husband and I went through our family pictures and noticed the subtle changes in my facial features over the years (actually months).

I did feel a change in myself but I chalked it up to being a new mom.

2004- The beginning of my health issues

2004 – Same symptoms getting worse. Hair suddenly changed, went from straight and healthy to curly, thick and unmanageable. Noticeable changes in face and overall appearance. Increased shoe size. Very tired. Started thinking there was a problem. Expressed many times to my family that I did not feel like myself. I felt unbalanced and swollen.

2004- The beginning of my health issues

Rash-like acne across the forehead, side of my face and chest. I was prescribed Acutane in 2001. I also had swollen hands and feet, small hump behind the neck and constantly had excessive sweating. I also exercised daily.
