  • LIsa, I wish you all the best!!

  • Hi all, diagnosed when I was 25, 53 now. Unable to work due lo long term problems largely due to 5 years of symptoms before diagnosed. Love and best wishes to all, I have never gotten over how I look, the same as we all look. Mirrors still upset me. Some journey eh!

  • I too, have this rare disease. I feel for you 200%

  • wow.. I am also 25 and have been suffering from acromegaly since I was 18. But I wondered why you haven't you gone through any surgery yet? Or gone through gamma knife radiation? And also, if you have been able to get on somavert.

  • You did a beautiful job putting this together. Bravo!!!

  • Hey Lisa, you're making me famous by adding my nickname in your video lol

    You're doing a great job explaining what you live with.. Not too much , just right!
