Support and resources<\/h1>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

For most patients, acromegaly is a life-changing disease, even when it is well managed. It can cause noticeable changes to the person\u2019s appearance and internal state. Many patients live with the disease for years before it is diagnosed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accepting these changes and balancing the \u2018old\u2019 self with the \u2018new\u2019 self can be challenging. However, there is help available if you reach out. Whatever your challenges, concerns or questions, it\u2019s important to remember that you are never alone. With treatment, guidance, and support, it is possible to live well with acromegaly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Patients and caretakers can find support through national meetings with doctors, nurses, and other patients, as well as through patient associations, online discussion groups, small local meetings, and national and international websites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
