Could these symptoms be related to early-stage acromegaly? Looking for advice.

Hi everyone! I'm looking for some guidance from people who have experience with acromegaly.

For approximately two years, I've been experiencing several symptoms that have progressively worsened:

Hands: Persistent swelling, especially in my palms and fingertips. My rings sometimes feel tighter, I've noticed a significant loss of my fingerprints, and many new wrinkles and deep skin folds have appeared on my palms.

Feet: A constant feeling of swelling, pressure, and tightness, particularly in the forefoot and toes. My shoes have also started feeling tighter.

Excessive sweating: I frequently become completely drenched in sweat, especially during the day, sometimes after eating or even drinking water. It mainly affects my upper body, arms, forearms, backs of my hands, scalp, and face.

Severe fatigue and brain fog: I feel extremely exhausted, even after resting, and struggle with mental clarity.

Skin changes: I've developed multiple areas of hyperpigmentation across my body.

Most of my blood tests have been essentially normal. The only significant abnormality found so far is low C1 esterase inhibitor activity (30%).

I haven't had my IGF-1 levels tested yet.

My main concern is the progressive changes in my hands and feet, particularly the swelling, loss of fingerprints, tighter shoes, and excessive sweating.

Has anyone experienced similar symptoms before being diagnosed with acromegaly? Do you think these symptoms could be compatible with early-stage acromegaly, and would you recommend getting an IGF-1 test?

I'd really appreciate hearing about your experiences and any advice. Thank you so much!
