Hi All, I am having such a difficult time to find a regular endocrinologist in
the Montreal area. I need someone who has experience with acromegalic patients
like my self, a suffer of this disease for more than 20 years. If I cant find
a regular endo than I suppose a real one specialized in pituitary tumors is out
of the question. My question is does anyone know of or had been to a great
endo in
eastern Canada. I feel myself loosing a grip on life day by day. The
symptoms are getting worst including pains in the heart and incredible
weakness. These symptoms are the worst since I had my surgery 11 years ago for
my pituitary tumor. Dont know what to do and even my regular physician is
having a hard time to find me an endocrinologist. He told me to be patient and
it will happen in a few weeks. Dont know if I will be around in a few weeks,
I wonder if I will have a cardiac problem in the middle of the night and just
die away and out of everyones memory. Do the medical professionals really care
about us acromegalic patients? The results from my last blood work show my
testosterone was at 11 (in the morning with a reference range of 10-30.) My
ACTH was very low and cortisone low as well. The doctor only gave me some
cortisone for now (20mg in am and 10mg in pm) and told me to
wait for the testosterone to be prescribed by a specialist. But when and who?
Nobody can tell me while I am getting sick everyday. Does anybody have any
suggestions on what I can do next or do I have to remain a guinea pig. I am
taking Sandostatin Lar 30mg every month as well. The sandostatin brought my GH
and IGF-1 levels to normal range. ??? Gary
