In Episode 19 of AcroTales we speak to Roz from Essex in the UK.
Roz was diagnosed in 2005 after a succession of symptoms that had been present since her teens. Roz's journey has not been easy and had her third round of surgery only six weeks ago! (March 2024). However, Roz faces her Acro-challenge with a great sense of humour and is now a Volunteer Ambassador for The Pituitary Foundation, proving that every cloud has a silver lining.
We also discuss how vital it is to have a competent Endocrinologist and touch upon the current state of the NHS.
