Pituitary World News’ main goal is to increase awareness of pituitary disease so more people are diagnosed early and properly. So when a daytime TV program, “The Balancing Act airing on Lifetime TV, tackles the general lack of awareness, a key issue for acromegaly diagnosis, and really all pituitary disease for that matter, we are all over it.
Dr. Lewis Blevins, M.D., Neuroendocrinologist, UCSF, and Pituitary World News co-founder, discusses the importance of early diagnosis, the most common signs and symptoms, and treatments. President of the Acromegaly Community, Jill Sisco, PWN friend, and contributor shares her story and how it took 12 years to receive her diagnosis.
