Clinical Endocrinol. x. 529 Case II represents an instance of onset of the disease following a complicated delivery, and is therefore an example of the subclassification of Simmonds’ disease described by Sheehan, and called ‘Sheehan’s syndrome’ by some authors.

An acronym for the syndrome that has plagued the early part of 21st century. GHD Syndrome is a phenomena caused by the over indulgence of PBR and bad indie music. Initial symptoms are metro-sexual in nature and may include thick rimmed glasses, skinny jeans, feathers, and knit scarves/hats worn even in sweltering heat. The only symptom that is common to all patients appears to be acute body odor. Persons with GHD Syndrome also claim to be non-judgmental, however they will scoff and dismiss any other person not afflicted with their disease.
