Acromegaly is a rare condition that affects approximately 50-70 people per million. It is caused by a benign growth in the pituitary gland. The condition is usually diagnosed after 6-8 years but can often take much longer.

The road to diagnosis is often long and complicated and almost everyone who lives with acromegaly has a unique tale to tell. That’s why AcroTales was started. Because for anyone with an interest in the condition – those who are recently diagnosed, medics, family members and more – hearing the real life experiences of people who have come through the other side is not only rewarding but also life affirming.
