I can sympathize with you, , I also have bilateral disease and therefore am not a candidate for surgery. We'll never be "cured" of PA but we can control our BP's with a MC receptor blocker and by DASHing. Men sometimes have trouble with the feminizing side-effects of spiro, have you tried Inspra? I'm not sure why your doctor put you on Amlodipine though, CC blockers generally don't work well on us. DASHing helped my nocturia to some degree but I still get up at least once and sometimes twice a night to pee and I'm still bothered by occasional night sweats. But believe me, there absolutely are worse things to have than PA.

Good luck,
