In Episode 18 of AcroTales we speak to Jill from from Oklahoma in the USA. Jill was diagnosed with Acromegaly in 2005 and it was quite a struggle for her to get a diagnosis. Jill is shining example of turning a negative into a positive. For over ten years she has been at the helm of the Acromegaly Community and leading a mission to support people with Acromegaly, whatever the stage of their journey. We chat about her complex diagnosis, the role of being an advocate and the changes she's seen over the years.
