Somatuline Autogel

So I finished with radio on Jan 31st as scheduled, everything improved since I finished: I started feeling better and not being so tired, and after a couple of weeks later I was feeling ok.

I had some blood tests in March and GH & IGF-1 are not as ok as me, so my endo prescribed me Somatuline Autogel 120mg every three weeks until June, when I will have a new MRI, new blood tests, and visit the Radio Doctor, Neurosurgeon & Endocrinologist. By now I have had 3 shots (last on Monday) and have 3 more left until next visit to Endo.

I have not felt any particular change in me when I have had my shots, and of course I do not feel better with the pain in my ***... I suppose that I have to wait some more months till everything starts working. Anyway, there is no reason to complain! I have treatment!

How do you like the gel? The sando is kind of complicated to administer, I wonder if I had the gel instead I could administer it myself. Do you get it at the doctor's office or do you do it yourself?

Hi almudena! I also have been diagnosed with acromegalia, I am also from Madrid and I have undergone surgery a month ago. I would like to exchange email addresses, if you want. I am also interested in the acromegaly-network you mentioned your friend Raquel was building.

I wrote you yesterday :) I forgot to ask about the acromegaly-network. I'm interested in taking part in it. Actually, I am interested in taking part in every acromegaly network. Acromegaly bloggers, would you adopt me?
