Wyburn-Mason syndrome. Heard of it? Dan Jeffries has and his memoir is an amazing tale of living with a rare condition - to then find out you have another one.
It's World #Acromegaly Awareness Day today. Here's a short film I made about this unique and rare condition.
4 years on, 80k views and 600 people shared it. Not bad for a video made in PowerPoint π€£ π

Could someone at The @Guardian pls advise Adrian Chiles that this is an easy fix (I struggled for years too). Search for 'anti-slip ear hooks', get a pack, problem solved.

.@Pituitary_org π for last night's #Acromegaly session. Rob Murray was fab in explaining complex medical concepts and the Q&A/Discussion after was hugely useful.
I had great fun chairing & learnt a lot - especially about #testosterone impact (gel = more natural release).
@IndeedItsMark Fair enough. Yes - consider it the red flag to the bull!
I'm a huge fan of Pinter and Mike Leigh so I love my heavy pauses as long as possible!
@IndeedItsMark Just how I see it! I thought it was brilliant.
Did you watch 'Mum'? I personally think Stefan Golaszewski who wrote and directed both is a genius, but each to their own :)
What a great day at @emotive__agency's Summer Conference. Always a pleasure telling my story, especially knowing the 70 attendees all had a copy of my book!
And lovely to hear Lucy from @M4RareDiseases too.

Happy #RareDiseaseDay everyone!
Share to help raise awareness in a hope for earlier diagnosis of rare conditions. Thank you.

"How is life different? It's the little things: being able to buy shoes, the ring on my finger and feeling like I'm in control."
In Ep 17 we speak to Vanessa who was diagnosed with #Acromegaly at the very young age of 21.
