That sounds like quite a variation in readings. Have you been checked for hyperparathyroidism?

t1gernidster, I had a thyroidectomy 15 years ago. Now I take daily dosis of levothiroxine, bug it is controlled.

Hyperparathyroidism is not related to thyroid at all.

Oh I see. I will try to understand it and talk with my doctor. Thanks for your advise.

t1gernidster, now I know what hyperparathyrodism or HPT is.

And for instance I did some blood tests in June and HPT was one of the required one’s by my Doc( 5,5 mg). Thanks to call my attention to it.
