I live in New Jersey my Endocrinologist and my Neurosurgeon are with different hospital systems. My Neurosurgeon is the Head of Neurosurgery at Cooper Hospital and my Endocrinologist is with Inspira Hospital. Both seem to be well versed in their fields and came highly recommended. I had high blood pressure before the diagnosis as it runs in my family. I’m overweight but my weight has remained stable though out. The Endocrinologist has told me that since I’m neither gaining or loosing weight we won’t discuss me trying to loose right now. I have very little appetite and on most days only eat one meal a day. I’ve started to have issues with my heart and am waiting for results from an Echocardiogram and a Stress Test. My Cardiologist said my EKG didn’t show any signs of a heart attack but there were several abnormalities. Heart disease, diabetes and cancer all run in my family. I also have a tumor on my Adrenal gland and cysts in my liver and kidney. Glad to hear your husband is doing well, thank you for the prayers. I will update after my blood work.
