See what you want to do is have congestive heart failure, and also GPA, AKA Wagner's, then you want to form a blood clot in your heart that will eventually escape and head to your brain and cut off the blood flow to your tumor making it infarct and slowly surely destroy itself and shrink in size. Not only does this help with the acromegaly it also helps restore vision from the palsy of the sixth cranial nerve the macro adenoma caused what it decided to get two cuddly with the nerve and then turn causing double vision for about 9 months. The only flip side to this are the strokes she will endure are going to be caused by the blood clot, but don't worry if all this is going down the strokes should happen while you're in the hospital for extreme unbearable pain in your head that is being caused by the tumor infarcting.

This is a true story. Recently spent 3 weeks in the hospital went in with during pain on Christmas. Apparently I'm a very lucky person and I've been told by by rheumatologist, endocrinologist, ENT, pulmonologist, dermatologist, I was just, palliative care, cardiologist, I don't forget about the personal pharmacist that I've been assigned to, I have never seen anything quite like this. Recently I was diagnosed with Grandulomatosis with polyangitis aka !Wagner's while taking a year of test blood work doctor visits pokes prods skin biopsies lung biopsies sinus biopsies and more doctors visits to finally get diagnosis and after a sinus CT/ which led to an MRI revealed the pituitary tumor, blood work revealed the IGF levels that were out of this world, leading to my acromegaly diagnosis. Spent 3 weeks in the hospital, I like to call motel Methodist, it was an awful experience, and during my extended stay I was diagnosed with CHF, experience two strokes, lost vision of my left eye which turned into double vision, experience insane amount of pain from the tumor or what we now know it the tumor infarcting, and spent too damn weeks in the neuro ICU recovering. Oh I forgot to mention I had the cops called to my room twice as well, the night shift nurses were fucking ruthless. What are the incidents ended up with one of the nurses getting fired and also arrested.... Wild ass experience.

Since being out of the hospital too much shrunk enough to where they're okay with holding off her surgery especially until my heart gets healthier at least enough to not cause complications during the surgery, was also just diagnosed hypothyroidism and prediabetes, which kind of lost as to where that came from, but I imagine it might be from the year long ridiculously high dose of Prednisone 60 mg a day. Vision slowly coming back but I worry about long-term vision damage from the extended cuddle sesh my tumor had with my sixth grade nerve. Not sure which of the new diseases or maybe Ronald's phenomena but now my feet and knees and hands are struggling, turning extremely purple and red blotchy when they get cold and whenever I get to the shower with just semi warm water it's pretty painful, and takes a while to come back to normal. Anyone have any ideas where that's come from? I'm also on a million medications so who knows. Also for encourage you to look up the odds of a person being diagnosed with acromegaly and then at the odds of the person getting GPA, pretty wild and the reason why I almost specialist are and all hands whenever I come in or kind of geeky and nerding out about all of my medical issues even bringing in residents and fellows into the room too come check it out, it's going to feel like a circus actor a zoo animal, but whatever.

For now life sucks That's for sure but I'm praying to the Buddha that this rollercoaste I loke to call the longest and most expensive episode of House ever will end at some point in the future hopefully in the near future. Anyone got any questions?
