Hi Thyroid issues of one sort or another are not uncommon with Hughes Syndrome/APS many of our members on this forum join Thyroid UK, who have a forum on Health Unlocked as their advice is good, and vice versa their members who turn out to have Hughes Syndrome/APS also join this one. Other members on here will have had similar problems to yourself. MaryF

Hi, I do not know how big my gland that I operated in 2006 was. I had hyperparathyreos and too high levels of Calcium. The op went well but I had my symptoms back that I had before Aspirin and I also became more symtoms.

Hyper Parathyroid does go along with Kidney Disease. I have APS, SLE, and Kidney Disease and have a hyper Parathyroid. When you have Kidney Disease Vitamin D does not process in the kidneys the way it should. I take Zemplar (an artificial Vitamin D) daily to keep this condition under control. The Parathyroid is different than the Thyroid. You have 4 of them on each side of your neck area. This is the way my Nephrologist (Kidney doctor) explained it to me. Hope this helps.
