| Message | Dogs experience skin irritation on their feet for a number of reasons. Commonly, a skin irritation on their feet cause your dog's foot to itch or burn. As a result, the dog often licks, chews, or bites their feet. If left untreated, your pet can cause further irritation to their feet. To relieve your pet's irritation, provide your pet with a foot bath that includes cool water and Epsom salt. You can soak your pet's feet in this bath for 10 minutes; however, be very careful they do not drink the water. |

| Message | I had tumor removed from pit. gland in 1984 and had acromegaly for many years. I looked for a good doctor for some years. Was pleased with the transspenoidal operation. Have had mostly good heatlh since that time. There is hope; be patient with yourself and hope you find a good doctor. |

| Message | Andy, There are things we never know about each other while in the workplace. I would never have known -sometimes I think if people shared more about each other then the world maybe a better and easier place to live and work in. You are a caring person and very easy to talk to and I think your experiences help to make you the special person that you are. This is truly inspirational and has booted me up the backside to write something myself about my 'issues'....may need your web assistance!!! Well done my friend, my back buddy!!! XX |

| Message | Hi Andy Really pleased you have put this site on the web, i have been suffering from pituitary problems for the last 10-15 years but in a very slow and gradual way, i have been diagnosed and treated for many conditions that i didnt even have! In November of 2009 i was diagnosed with a condition called isolated growth hormone deficiency, this is not caused by a tumour, according to my consultant i have a very rare inherent condition that is passed down or caused by a faulty gene! Strange thing is i grew up and developed normally but when i got to the age of 29 i felt subtle changes start, and then by the time i got to 32 it all started to go down the slippery slope, weight gain, depression, fatigue, mood swings etc etc, i am no 45 and have just been diagnosed with the definate problem ''AT LAST'' ...  Well i will continue my ramble when i get to know a bit more, waiting to see a hormone specialist on the 24th Febuary, really glad you are here, this is the first site i have found where i dont feel out of my depth and not be able to comment on my condition. Thank you for being here. Regards Martin |

| Message | Dear Andy. Thank you for this website. You are an insiration. My favourite song is "How fragile we are" by Sting. After about 22 years of doctors, diagnosis of phychiatric illness and financially supporting the medical industry in South Africa, i'm sure (kidding), I've been diagnosed with Secondary Addison's disease. Everything falls into place now, the relief is enourmous. I suffered from depression and suicidal tendancies for many years but if I look back, only through times of extreme stress. Other than that, I've worked hard, built a career and got through with determined self belief and will power (or hard headed, not sure)  . People can be cruel. I've been ridiculed, criticised by by family and friends for years. Couldn't defend myself because I didn't have a diagnosis other that "emotional instability". I'm at the point where I'm considering cutting them out of my life, they create more stress! I recently started with Prednisone and feel like a normal human being again! I still have attacks sometimes that get me down, especially when it's a family member having a good old go. Have to find the balance and learn as much as I can. Any suggestions on how to approach this with family and friends? Staying positive is important so thank you for your website and positive comments. My family was originally from Whales, just for interest, are there many Whipp surnames in Whales? |

| Message | Hi Andy, I was on your course today and was very interested to know more about your website, which I think is good and very informative. I wasn't aware of this condition and I think it is great that you are sharing your experience as it will inform and give comfort to others who have or know someone with the same condition. Shona |

| Message | Hi Andy, What a lot of courage you have to write your life story, good for you  I also have Agromegaly diagnosed over 4 years ago just after I had a Carpal Tunnel op on both hands,then it was back into surgery to remove the tumour, Neuro thought he had removed it all,but he hadn't so now I'm on Lanreotide monthly injections,I had my latest MRI last September and it has shown the residual tumour has gone so the injections must've shrunk it and my IGH level is currently sitting between 29-30 intead of around 180 before surgery.It's nice to know we aren't alone,I'm finding more and more peeps with the condition and hooking up for chats it's great. Thanks for sharing your story with us and all the best.  |
