Hey,
All you fellow sufferers of pituitary illnesses, My endocrinologist (pituitary specialist, neuro-endocrinologist) Dr Ioachimescu at Emory University is willing to sponsor a "support group" once or twice a year where we could have a speaker come talk about whatever we want related to pituitary stuff. I am interested in cognitive changes associated with Cushing's disease, or a nutritionist to come and talk about how to manage weight loss with our endocrine deficits, or recover diet to gain muscle mass again, maybe physical therapist, or dealing with depression,,,oh so many options, even helping our families deal with us! I need your ideas and suggestions. Email me at jamie.claygoddess@gmail.com
i want to know:
1) what you want to talk about
2) when is a good time for you
3) how can I contact you to let you know when this is happening (no worries after Christmas)
PS If you live anywhere close to Atlanta and you have a pituitary issue, this Doc is for you. I can't adequately express my appreciation for her expertise and throughness. I have lived through endocrinologists that might know how to diagnose Cushing's but don't have a clue to do with you after the first surgery. Dr Ioachimescu gives caring and comprehensive care, even colaberates with my other doctors! Amazing! Dr Oyesiku, world famous neurosurgeon, specializing in pituitary as well is right there in the same office! this is BEST!!!!
