Adrenal Q&A with Dr. Tobias Carling of the Hospital for Endocrine Surgery - October 2024

[@SusanMusser643]

I had surgery with Dr. Carling on October 2nd. While it is taking me a little longer to recover but i am close to 70. My care was great, I am off 3 of the 5 bp meds already. Many of the symptoms of Cushings are going away. My local endocrinologist poo-poo'd my symptoms and kept giving me more meds. Very grateful for Dr. Carling and his team.

I’ve been dealing with this for years now … can’t control blood pressure, constant unexplained anxiety, missing sleep from frequent urination, feeling weak and tired, all of it. Wasn’t until I had a hypokalemic attack at my daughter’s graduation and had to spend her graduation ceremony in the hospital being titrated (watched on my phone and missed her graduation ball) that a doctor at Georgetown’s hospital asked me if anyone had ever checked me for a problem with my adrenal glands, that my (new, better) primary care doctor took it seriously. So after a lot of tests it seems I have an adenoma and highly likely all of this is due to that. Then I started looking into the top adrenal surgeons and lo and behold the best of the best was at Yale, so I started looking into setting up a consult. Except the best of the best moved to Tampa … where I live. I am pleased. See you soon, doc.
