Im on the hunt myself for a functional medicine doctor myself. It seems like endocrinologists don’t generally take HRT on as far as I have experienced. Maybe because it was so poo-pooed for so many years, they ignored it.
I had a consult with Dr. Bluestein in Dec as I was desperate to find out about this left flank pain.She was the one who suggested I get checked out for May-Thurner and Nutcracker. Until then pelvic vascular compression were not on my radar. I was evaluated and was DX with both. Additionally, in my quest to find out the source of my left flank/Ab pain, I also had a consult to see if I had Slipping Rib syndrome and that doctor saw the scans indicating possible MALS. I have spent the last 3 months trying to educate myself on this and it can be overwhelming. I thought perhaps you had some symptoms of these vascular compressions. IM not sure where you live but getting evaluated for MALS and treated will likely require traveling to specialists. I have had several evaluations for TOS with mixed results. The last doc I saw, I don’t think wanted to operate on an hEDS patient and Ive seen a few and had lots of testing over a period of several years. Ive heard of only a few TOS Centers of Excellence in the country, one on east coast and another I think at Baylor in Houston.
Here is recent video podcast with Dr. Afrin MCAS specialist and he talks some about dry eyes too AND the use of micro-dosing GLP-1 for inflammation in the body.
