does anybody know of a great, well educated, experienced reactive hypo specialist? Every specialist, endo I see that is coming with high recommendations doesn't have experience with how severe my RH is and doesn't know what to do.

im only able to eat literally 28 different things, It impacts my life so severely that I'm at the point where I need my surgery reversed, and/or part of my pancrease removed.

Does anybody know of a great endo who specializes in severe RH OR a great BS who is well versed in revision surgeries.. preferably in the Pa/Nj/va/DC/md area.

thank you!

I do not know the doctors name but if you go to caresfoundation.org and contact them they can help. As there is a Dr in NJ who is an endo but deals in far more difficult cases, such as Congenital Adrenal Hyperplaysia. Hypoglycemia is a major player in CAH, and while yours is RH that dr should have a better grasp on how to help, than most typical endos as they deal.more with hyperglycemia.

thank you SO much! According to recent blood tests results my dr believes I might be going thru adrenal system fatigue, so this might be beyond helpful! I appreciate it!

Glad it may help. For the longest time it was thought I had PCOS but looks like I have CAH and its taking my adrenals diving to the point of non existant in some to now find out. Finding a good endo that can deal in adrenal issues not just weight, diabetic, and usual thyroid issues is very tough. Ive got 2 weeks to go till I finally get to see a complex case endo. Its been a 2 month wait.

The thread is quite old, but I think more than one person has asked such a question. I really hope that you are okay now and have sorted out your health problems. It's a pity that it happened to you. To find a suitable specialist, I think you should contact the health care administrator at the clinic where you plan to undergo treatment. You can tell him about your specific case and he will tell you who to contact. I know this because I wanted to become a healthcare administrator myself a few years ago on https://www.exploremedicalcareers.com/healthcare-administration / but I was offered training in another specialty. Therefore, you should not worry so much about where to find a specialist.
