Ellen, living with acromegaly.
The acromegaly balancing act
Keeping up with, starting, or even restarting treatment can be challenging. Between complex dosing schedules, side effects, and breakthrough symptoms, staying on track isn’t always easy.
“If my acromegaly was truly controlled, I would be out in the world more. I would be living a fuller life. I would be seeing people more and be more active.”

Both sides of acromegaly control matter
Living with acromegaly can be exhausting. It can sap your energy, make daily life harder, and take a toll on your well-being. If your symptoms aren’t well-managed, it can feel like your body is working against you.
But here’s the good news: when both your hormone levels, like insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), and symptoms are well-controlled, life can feel more stable.
In a study, about 50% of people on the most commonly used acromegaly treatments occasionally skipped or reduced doses*
From a survey of adults with acromegaly treated at 2 hospitals.*
Take charge of your health
Your treatment shouldn’t feel like another burden. If you’re struggling with side effects, injections, or forgetting doses, talk to your doctor.
Regular check-ins can lead to adjustments that make treatment easier to stick with—and help you feel better.
Speak up!
Your doctor can see your IGF-1 level, but they don’t know if you’re experiencing symptoms unless you say something. Speak up about your symptoms to take control of your treatment and improve your quality of life.
You deserve to feel your best.
