True. Acromegaly is a disorder caused by the hypersecretion of growth hormone by the pituitary gland, leading to excessive growth of bones and tissues.
Excessive production of glucocorticoids due to hypersecretion of the adrenal cortex is known as Cushing's syndrome. This can be caused by various factors such as adrenal tumors or prolonged use of corticosteroid medications. Symptoms may include weight gain, high blood pressure, and muscle weakness. Treatment options depend on the underlying cause and may include surgery or medications to help regulate hormone levels.
The prognosis for a patient with exophthalmos depends on the underlying cause. In some cases, it may be benign and resolve on its own, while in other cases, it may be a sign of a more serious condition such as Graves' disease or a tumor. Early diagnosis and treatment are important factors in determining the overall prognosis.

While many things can cause a goiter, a goiter and exophthalmos are symptoms of the autoimmune disease, Graves' disease.
Cortisol
hypersecretion of thyroxine leads to grave disease, thyrotoxicoises
Grave's Disease and Hashimoto's thyroiditis are two that I know of. Grave's tends to have a steady stream of hyperthyroid symptoms while in Hashimoto's tyroiditis it might start out hyperthyroid and as the antibodies attack it will eventually dwindle down to hypothyroidism. Somtimes there will be bursts of hyperthyroid behavior as the thryoid gland is destroyed by antibodies in Hashimoto's thryoiditis.
There's no combining vowel in exophthalmos.
Exophthalmos
RSD, or CRPS, is classified as a pain disorder. It is usually caused by an injury, and is not usually caused by another pain disorder. In rare cases, if you re-injure a limb affected by another pain disorder you can get RSD, but not directly from another pain disorder.
