Review for PAN Foundation, Washington, DC, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I suffered with migraines, high blood pressure and arthritis pain for many years. I went to doctor after doctor trying to find the reason for all my problems. I had been going to a neurologist for several years when he decided I needed carpal tunnel surgery on my wrists. He sent me next door to a surgeon who was part of his practice to do the surgery. When this doctor saw me, he later told me he knew what my problem was. However, he ordered an MRI to confirm. Sure enough I had a pituitary tumor. This started my journey with surgery and tests for over 10 years. After 10 years, I was supposed to be in remission from this ailment. The 10th year, I again began to have symptoms and was sent to Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville where I was told I needed another surgery. During this time, I was told I had Acromegaly, which is too much growth hormone, and there was no cure. I was started on medication and this began my journey to the present. I began with one medication and now am on two. This is how Patient Access Network came into my life. These medications are beyond my ability to pay for. PAN has been a life saver for me. Without their help, I don’t know what my life would be like. The cost is astronomical and I am so appreciative of the support and the help they give. They have been there for me time after time.
