At least you know what it is and can start proper treatment now. Hopefully it will be able to be controlled with drugs without the need for surgery.

Sounds like this doctor is sooo much better than the last one. I'm glad you finally got a doctor that is easier to work with too. Now maybe you can get everything under control and get on with your life - and the lives of all 7 of your sweeties.

Good luck with your next appt. and please keep us updated.
