    This video was very well done. In my own personal experience I was one of the youngest patients to be diagnosed with hypopituitarism and Septic-Optic Dysplasia at only three weeks old. I have definitely struggled with many of the symptoms you mentioned and have been on hormone replacement therapy and growth hormone since I can remember. On top of these my condition has manifested in renal problems and trouble breathing but the treatments keep these under control. I’m glad someone like me is able to raise awareness and inform others about these conditions.

    I had an MRI at age 7 because I was shorter than my 4 year old brothers and they knew about the ONH, I don't know if the two were linked yet? I started HRT at age 7 and kept it up until I was nearly 17, I think having it for so long is what made me reach 5ft3, a relatively "normal" height

    I have hypopituitarism too since 12 years, I was prescribed at the age of 18. It was due to a tumor on the pituitary gland, I did a surgery to remove the tumor and after that I've been taking permenant medication. The growth hormone treatment was useless as I reached 18 years old and so my height is 146cm only. I was still given growth hormone though because it is necessary for the body, but it caused so much water retention in my body that in one month only, I gained 10 Kgs and so I stopped it.

    Very rare to come across someone else with hypopituitarism.. I'm 34 and was diagnosed at 14. Was originally diagnosed at 8 with a growth hormone condition. I take the contraceptive pill, hydrocortisone, Eltroxin and genotropin ( growth hormone). Unfortunately I'm infertile and fertility treatment failed. Does anyone else have issues with fatigue even when bloods test say you're within range? I also experience low moods and anxiety.

As for reading, I tend to read Eva braille books if I need to be able to comprehend things, but if I’m just reading for leisure, I usually read audiobooks.
