https://acromegaly.wordpress.com/2014/03/11/remembering-to-take-the-tablets
Getting Started – Info. Stepping forward, one big foot at a time. Remembering to take the tablets. March 11, 2014. It’s possible to miss taking your tablets, or remembering which tablet you’ve taken. I find it helpful to put the tablets in a place that makes you likely to remember to take them. My morning tablets I keep in the kitchen. My evening tablet I keep in the bathroom. I continue in the same way with the remaining three packets, one at a time. So why this routine? April 14, 2014 at 4:13 pm. You a...

Getting Started – Info. Stepping forward, one big foot at a time. Wedding Ring Size after Acromegaly surgery. July 1, 2013. My wedding ring has become smaller! A few months after having transphenoidal surgery for my acromegaly I notice that my wedding ring had become very loose.

Naturally, I have to fend off the women somehow. This blog has been g...

Getting Started – Info. Stepping forward, one big foot at a time. Acromegaly Body Image Questionnaire. January 31, 2014. I had a brown envelope through the door yesterday. Usually it’s only letters from the taxman come in brown envelopes so it was good to see it came from the hospital. It was a “Body Image” questionnaire.
