Seeking Insights: Pituitary Tumor (Acromegaly) Diagnosed After GPA
2024.11.27 05:40 jadarlin Seeking Insights: Pituitary Tumor (Acromegaly) Diagnosed After GPA
I wanted to share a recent and complex case I’ve been navigating personally and seek any insights or similar experiences you might have encountered in your practice. About five months ago, I was diagnosed with GPA (granulomatosis with polyangiitis). During the diagnostic workup, including imaging, an MRI revealed a pituitary tumor, which subsequently led to a diagnosis of acromegaly.
Both my rheumatologist and endocrinologist agree these two rare conditions are likely independent of one another, but as a patient, it’s hard not to wonder if there could be any correlation or underlying connection that hasn’t been fully explored. The timing feels almost too coincidental to ignore.
To add context, I began Rituxan treatment for GPA shortly before the pituitary tumor was discovered. The tumor requires surgical intervention, but given my immunosuppressed state, surgery has been delayed until my immune system recovers. My biggest concern right now is the possibility of the tumor impacting my optic nerve, which might necessitate surgery sooner, even with the associated risks.
This journey has been emotionally and physically overwhelming—not just from managing GPA and acromegaly simultaneously, but also the side effects of treatments like prednisone and the uncertainty of waiting for surgery.
I’m curious if anyone has come across similar cases in their practice—either a patient presenting with GPA and a pituitary tumor or a concurrent diagnosis of acromegaly—or if you’ve observed any potential links between rare autoimmune conditions and pituitary dysfunction.
Thank you for any insights, anecdotes, or literature you can share. It’s a challenging time, and any perspective would be deeply appreciated.
Best regards, A patient navigating uncharted territory

![[Tissot/Longines] Help me choose](https://b.thumbs.redditmedia.com/mGjsEcKNA0HLt4ScvAxs1QLRfExM_Woo7pSd5x5UaeQ.jpg "[Tissot/Longines] Help me choose") | I really liked both the PRX and the Conquest but I’m unable to choose between the two. The PRX seems the best value for money, it’s newer, automatic and definitely more fresh than the conquest. On the other hand, the conquest has a beautiful mother of pearl in black and looks great in person. Another reason being, that I lost my old longines conquest that my late grams bought for me as a graduation present and I’ve been wanting to replace it. It’s priced slightly higher than the PRX. Help me choose please! 🤩 submitted by Bubbsaurus to Watches [link] [comments] |

I'm piping the output into an Elgato 4k Capture card which shows me the image vertically stretched in some applications (others seem fine). I assume this is some camera setting?

2024.11.27 05:40 jasercise Writing Release
I've been starting to write a story to kind of get through my work crush. I wanted to share a somewhat starting point or portion and see if people would be intrigued to continue reading.
As they were the last two to leave the office, yet again, she finally had enough nerve to turn to him and say “I would like to start the New Year clean, and I have a favor to ask. Would you just kiss me once, so that I can finally know there is nothing between us?”

2024.11.27 05:40 supremebliss How do I reawaken my (f) sexual desire towards men?
Yes, I know the title is a bit weird. Let me explain
CW: SA
I've been with my partner (m) for 4 years now. I know I've been bisexual since an early age, though at the time we got together I was mostly with men. Now, however, I find myself losing attraction to men, and leaning more and more towards women. To be clear, I still love my partner. But it's clear that our sex life is not where it used to be or where it should be.
It probably doesn't help that I work in an industry with quite a high rate of sexual harassment & assaults and I myself have experienced this in the last few years and always at the hands of men.
My lack of libido has begun to tear our relationship apart. More and more I feel myself missing the female touch. But I want to make this work with my partner, who I saw myself being with forever. So how can I bring this back?

2024.11.27 05:40 kerouacapologist Sweater Texture Issue after blocking (berkshire bulky) on
(cross posted to other knitting communities on reddit!)
hi guys! i had been working on a surprise sweater for my partner for the past few months and just recently blocked it and now the cables have shrunk and the texture is no longer thick and fluffy. it’s still drying right now but i’m literally on the verge of tears seeing the difference between the original sweater and how it looks now. It’s been drying for two days and his birthday is next week so I know it will dry in time but I am wondering if there is any way to fluff the texture up again. It is made of 15% alpaca and 85% wool from Valley Yarns (Berkshire Bulky)
any tips would be appreciated even if it doesn’t fluff the sweater back to it’s original state. I’m really looking for ways to re add stitch definition and all that. Thank you so much for any advice! i put a before and after photo here.

2024.11.27 05:40 Scalping-Speculator How can I bring myself to the level of Tier-1 MBAs being in an average b-school?
How can I bring myself to the level of Tier-1 MBAs studying in an average B-School and what can I do to become an ideal MBA graduate apart from studies? I mean everything in terms of knowledge. I really want to learn. I just want to keep myself busy. What should I do along with MBA (Finance)? What books, magazines, journals, research papers should I read? How can I get case studies? What else can I do to become a well-read MBA graduate? I am not doing all this for a job. I really have a hunger to learn. I was once a promising national level player, unfortunately I could not play further due to a fatal injury and had to be on bed rest for almost a year. All I want to do is not commit su***e. I am in medically prescribed depression and every time my past comes back to haunt me. I have a 6/5/6 in academics and my chances of getting into a Tier 1/Tier 2 B-school are over because my CAT didn't go well. SNAP & NMAT colleges are costly for me. Will be giving X-GMT.

2024.11.27 05:40 Perfect_You_1180 Golf & Welness Club
Hello everyone,
I am currently conducting a market research for an upcoming golf & wellness club that will be launched next year May 2025 in Vancouver. The club's vision is to create a safe haven for women to come together to build meaningful connections, uplift one another, and celebrate each other’s successes. Vancouver is usually refered as a lonely city for newcomers as everyone have already establish their own sets of friends and from experience, they are less likely to want to mingle with others which can be daunting when trying to navigate being in a new country or environment. The goal is to bridge that gap and create a community that strives on giving back and being relatable to each other. The club will incorporate networking workshops/ seminars, golf tournaments wellness sessions such as exclusive women only hiking/running clubs, meditation, yoga, sound healing sessions and many more community events to give back to our beautiful city. I would love to hear your inputs as to why Vancouver would need this type of scene and what you would like to be included in it if you were to become a member. Attached is a survey for anyone interest into jooining us or would like to know more.

Thank you in advance.
