AcroTalesAuthor: Dan Jeffries
AcroTales is a series of interviews with people living with Acromegaly - a rare condition caused by a benign tumour growth in the pituitary gland.If often takes 6-10 years for Acromegaly to be diagnosed and patients usually have a complicated journey to diagnosis. Acromegaly causes an excessive release of growth hormones which results in enlarged facial features, growth of hands and feet, changes in jaw and bone structures, loss of libido, visual problems and more. In each AcroTale, patient and advocate Dan Jeffries talks to acromegalics from around the world, discussing diagnosis, treatment and the effects on social and personal life.

Episode 25 - Sam
Episode 25
Wednesday, 29 October, 2025
In Episode 25 of AcroTales we meet Sam, who is from Lincolnshire in the UK. Sam's story is one that shows how quickly pituitary conditions can develop and the sharp impact they have on our health. Within two years Sam has discovered a range of pituitary issues, not helped by the battle he has had to face with the healthcare system to get the tests and support he needs. Combine that with a job where literally millions of pounds are at stake should 'brain fog' kick in, and you have a truly fascinating AcroTale.
