I have been going to my GP for 3 years complaining about the same hormonal issues.

I have recently had horrific headaches and vision issues lasting over a month. I have kicked off and practically begged for help. Begrudgingly they are doing an MRI next week.

My optician is concerned something is pressing my optic nerve as it is swollen.

Since finding this out ive some tonnes of research and Acromegaly fits PERFECTLY.

why are my doctors so rubbish and unwilling to help?! Has anyone else struggled with a diagnosis?
