Whenever Sponge Bob has an important announcement he starts with that greeting.... and its become a slogan at our house for important news. So... now hear this. I am trying to increase our membership in the Hypopituitary group. If you are secondary Adrenal insufficient or just love to talk about hormones... come join us! I know there are lots of members on both groups already. The hypo board is a great place to talk, complain, or explore all pituitary lacking hormones... If you are wondering about a possible pituitary issue...its the place to be.

I think due to the even more rarity of the condition we have a small group over there. So new posts can lag... and that's no fun! So don't be shy... click here: www.mdjunction.com/hypopituitarism
