In Episode 18 of AcroTales we speak to Jill from from Oaklahoma 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 Jill has been at the helm of the Acromegaly Community, finding herself thrust into a world of medics, big pharma and advocacy. We chat about her complex diagnosis, the role of being an advocate and the changes she’s seen over the years.
