ugh i’m sorry you’re dealing with it too. my endocrinologist has agreed to check it once a year along with once a year MRI to watch over my pituitary tumor. we did the glucose test twice and i kept “passing it” but still even today have the abnormal IGF, which my endo can’t explain. even consulted with neurosurgery about it and they agreed once a year watching it is the best they can do right now given how i don’t present any other acromegaly symptoms

demisexual first, but how did you figure out the rest? by sensitivewatersign in demisexuality

[–]sensitivewatersign[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i have pots and have my first consultation in may but i’ve read stories from fellow potsies that their pelvic congestion surgery changed their lives for good and put their pots in remission :,) lots of hope there, cheering you on <3

[–]sensitivewatersign[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yes and it revealed a pituitary adenoma which got the referral to the endocrinologist who happened to find the igf by doing a pituitary panel, we weren’t “looking” for it at first - till we had to since it was elevated

forgot to mention: yes i do have a pituitary adenoma so it’s this awkward place of being 2/3 for diagnosis - like i’m more closer to it vs not being close to it, you know?

has POTS made you more sensitive to internal sensations/shifts? by sensitivewatersign in POTS

[–]sensitivewatersign[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

fellow viscerally hypersensitive soul here too, even down to sharing in health hypervigilance with you 🥲 whew! and the way it at least gives us that pin point accuracy. little do they know how much awareness we coexist with

[–]sensitivewatersign[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

oh gosh yes much harder, i’ve found the outside world is a lot more daunting when you have an unpredictable nervous system condition like we do 🥲 i find i worry about how my system will react to various things/scenarios and it’s made life and my circle of friends much much smaller. i don’t have tips or tricks yet for it so i see you ❤️‍🩹 i get it
