What treatment did you get?

Hi Doctor I had my left adrenalectomy 30 years ago. Now I represent the same features again , I have 2 adenomas on my right adrenal but my doctor says they are shrinking plus no positive cortisol test . If the low dose dexamethasone suppression test depressed my cortisol level from 240 mmol to 200 mmol, is that normal result as well?.

Is it safe to have both over producing glands removed?

The Clayman Thyroid Center in the same system is also such a great experience. It's sad that more practices don't take note of their business model. Never had anywhere near as wonderful experience in my 60+ years.

If you have cancer would your cortisol be to high or to low

Thank you for the education

I got my appointment there on September 9th. lets pray it is not cancer

My adrenal adenoma was found after a routine physical potassium was at 2.5 ... Later confirmations with a CT scan with and without contrast we're done and also the dexodomethazone 1 mg tablet came back suppressed so only aldo..My adrenal was overproducing aldosterone and I was given a spironolactone 50mg twice per day and neutralized my aldosterone very well and keep my blood pressure at 120 over 80 for the most part and I was given other blood pressure medication.

are you serve in new jersey?

Hi, I was having my pheo removed a week ago. I feel much better. No more depression and thinks like that. I'm healing now. The gas pain is still painful, but is getting better every day a bit. I was having laporoscopy keyhole surgery.

Doctor, I live in fort lauderdale and the endocrinologists here are perplexed at my case. Initial CT showed 2 adenomas. The one measuring 1.7cm after a second CT 8 months apart is now 2.1 cm. But I have empty sella syndrome. No tumors on brain. My estrone and estrogen as well as estradiol keep going up and up. Currently at 190 estrone level. I am about to make an appointment with your clinic as doctors here believe I should be seen by either a university or someone with a lot of experience in adrenal glands. I also have normal hormones for all other endocrine except for one which is the precursor hormone to many others. Endocrinologist here believe it is suppressed due to estrogen levels. I am a man by the way. So it seems I have a functional adenoma secreting femalizing hormones.

Hello, Dr. Carling. If I get surgery to remove one of my adrenal glands. Can I still jog with only one?

How much does it cause to remove an adenoma on the left gland? I mean like the whole procedure cause?

I had a stroke in 2017 & a pulmonary embolism in 2001 I have a pheochromocytoma My question is how long can you have these? & is it more dangerous the longer you have it? I will be coming there soon but figured I'd ask ask here

I having a right Pheochromocytoma wich is 3 cm They said it's looke benign. But they gona make an MIBG scan on the 30-31 of July, this month. Can't wait to get this out of me. They gona do the surgery in early August. Im on Alpha blocker now.

Thank you so much. Very informative; looking forward to the next session when you are able.

I’m not even sure how I came across this video but I was clearly meant to. I have a very small adenoma and the endocrinologist basically said I was wasting her time. I’ve gained a substantial amount of weight in 4 months, extreme fatigue and can not lose a pound for my life. I’m insulin resistance as well. Is there anywhere I can find help or information as I’m clearly not going to get it here.

Great to hear another patient success story

Awesome!

Difficult to hear you. Move closer to the microphone please

Gayle what has she done to herself

This Dr is so good love listening to him

Thank u please keep posting

Can you keep left adrenal gland wth left nephrectomy and if adrenals removed what meds do u have to take after removal ?

Why does it make me sweat so bad? Can I do anything to help with the sweating

I had adrenal cortex carcinoma and cushing syndrome in 2003. My tumor was the size of a mens fist. I had 11 fractured ribs, muscle loss and everything else you get with cushings. They removed my left adrenal gland. I was misdiagnosed for over one year, they just put me on diets. Miraculously, i survived. Today, i still have bad osteoporosis , lots of compression fractures ( kyphosis), muscle loss. I also developed hyperthyroidism, and have a 3 cm nodule, getting a biopsy this week. My cortisol level (24 hour urin test) was at 0.6 I’ve seen different endocrinologists over the years, but no one really knows what to do. I‘m pretty much on my own, eating better, supplements. I‘m very happy i discovered your channel. I‘m still learning every day.

i just got out of hospital, inflammation of the heart and fluid around the heart. will start cushings testing after i move. the docs in my city are very poorly educated, will move back to my hometown till i get treatment, the docs are better there.

i am low acth but still convinced i'm pituitary is there any way that would happen?

Hi doctor, can a 2nd cushing syndrome manifest a little different from the 1st time. Also can plasma cortisol be negative, but the dexamethasone suppression test is higher than normal level. I had a left adrenalectomy 30 years ago , 2 adenomas on the right side but plasma cortisol is negative

Thank you for making this videos. I have a 2.8cm pherocricitoma in my right adrenal. Its producing tu much adrenalin. My genetic test was negative. I dont know the exact date for the surgery, but I have my pre-op appointment all ready. Its scary and my MIBG scan is gona be end of July. They give my 1 mg Doxasosin tablet, to stay on until the surgery, which Is gona be around August . Is this a good treatment plan? If anyone knows a good answer, please do. Im living in the UK.

Thank You very much ....

Hi Dr. Carling I'm a 58 years old, had right Adrenalectomy in 1997, due to Cushing syndrome, for the last about 10 years I have 2 adenomas on the left side. Also 4 years ago I had a parathyroidectomy due to parathyroid tumor, my question is do you advice that I do another adrenalectomy?. I think the adenomas are big to scope

Dr. Carling, I am a 32 year old female, I found out I had bilateral Pheochromocytoma when I was 25 years old, I was suffering with symptoms since I was 21, I had a left adrenalectomy in 2017, and my right pheo was not bothering me for 6 years my norepinephrine where hight but not as high, now my levels are getting higher, but I am afraid to have my other gland removed, how do i know if I qualify for a partial adrenalectomy ? Thank you hope you answer me 😔

is it normal for pituitary cushings to make your adrenals feel disabled/buggared? i feel i'm probably pituitary but my acth is low so i am wondering if it's both? (symptoms after head injury is why i feel pit)

Thank you .... Even a pheochromocytoma ❓❓

👍🏼👍🏼

Dr. Carling i am 44yrs old. I have a left incidental nodule measuring 3cm no symptoms can you please let me know what should I do?

I just had my operation 3 days ago.

I just got the adrenalectomy procedure done 3 days ago. I am in recovery.

Cortisol Levels after surgery. @13:12 Great answer. Thanks!

Dr. Carling I have a family member who has reccently diagnosed with Cancer of both Adrenal Glands and has been told that it has spread and surgery isn't an option. Can you tell me if this always the case? They had one kidney removed in the 90's due to cancer as well.

The Norman Pararthyroid is Great! Had surgery there myself almost a year ago.

Living in 🔥 since 2007 with cushings syndrome excess cortisol from adrenal adenomas, my bones are breaking for no reason (leg, ankle and hand in one year), my teeth broke off from the gum line, they were white, clean and normal taken care of, but they just crumbled out.i have long white langue hair that grows all over my face, i got fat, moon face, red rash face, hair on head fell out, i went from normal low blood pressure my whole life to no high normal bp now, central sleep apnea, fear of going to another doctor who never follows through. I lost my 40s to cushings and now im losing my 50s. If you take my insurance, how long is the weight time?

Excellent Interview ‼️

Please do a video of the TEST that needs to be done by your PCP to diagnose these problems.

What is the likelihood a benign, non hormone producing adrenal adenoma starts to produce hormones years later?

Can someone have Cushing Syndrome and pheochromocytoma?
