Does anyone happen to know if transpalpebral orbital decompression is being performed anywhere here in the States?
(specifically regarding the functional removal of fat tissue)
My primary care physician finally gave me some direction. To be honest, I’ve been dealing with what looks like classic hyperthyroidism symptoms for about 20 years now. I won't bore everyone by retyping my entire history here, but things have taken a bit of a turn lately. Over the last year, I've started noticing skin spots appearing, and I seem to be stuck in this endless cycle of inflammation. Just this past month, a recent endoscopy and colonoscopy revealed some inflammation in my gastric antrum—something I've actually dealt with for a while, though it was only officially caught recently. On top of that, there's been quite a bit of blood in my urine.
I need to get that looked into as well while I wait for my follow-up appointment with the endocrinologist.
The data on their website is just plain wrong. I actually called Rib, but the wait times there are even longer than they are in Cleveland. They’re looking at ordering in November for sometime the following year. Back when I was in Cleveland, I had my order set for mid-December. Does anyone know if there’s a private immunologist out in Cleveland? (Since Sun and Medical Center don't have one)
Thanks. I’ll check tomorrow to see what the wait times look like. I was browsing the Mayo Clinic website
and noticed that both Dr. Smith and Dr. Fauci are listed as internal medicine specialists, whereas Dr. Johnson and Dr. Miller are listed as specialists in both internal medicine and clinical immunology. Given that my referral specifically asks for an immunologist, I really think I should be seeing someone with that specific expertise, right? 😕
Can anyone recommend a solid immunologist in Cleveland or Chicago?
I don't really care if it's private practice or through an insurance network, as long as I'm not stuck waiting over two months just to get an appointment like they make you do in Cleveland.
