Parathyroid conditions

This forum is, obviously, primarily for thyroid issues. But, as most know, the parathyroid glands are physically adjacent to thyroid tissue. And it is well-known that some thyroid treatments (thyroidectomy and radio-active iodine for two) can result in damage to the parathyroids. We usually have four

Hi, I went to bed normal and woke up in agony. 1 Sept 24, went to A&E and after scans found 4 broken ribs, broken sternum and 4 broken vertebrae, no bruising and hadn't fallen or slept walked.

I've been taking NDT prescribed privately by roseway labs since July 19th 2024 my reason for trying it was because I had trouble stomaching the T4, T3 synthetic hormone my levels were always awful and I'm sure I had an absorption problem.

Hello All, It is now 12 weeks since my stress fracture back in September. I was in an airboot for about 5 - 6 weeks and have had a few appointments with the orthopaedist. The stress fracture is healing. (It's a nasty looking fracture - a jagged break in the near part of the Rt 2nd metatarsal.)

I am having a calcium and PTH blood test this afternoon. I asked the nurse whether it needed to be fasting and if it could be affected by biotin and she said no. Having just looked up to see what PTH actually is I see it is measuring a protein hormone in parathyroid glands. Should I have followed the

hi, I wonder if you have any thoughts please, I recently did a private thyroid blood test as was feeling quite rubbish with a long list of issues, ( have previously had parathyroid issue with high PTH and calcium leading to parathyroidectomy over 2 years ago) my thyroid results were normal except for

I’m just back from a consultation with a private Endocrinologist that I had high hopes for. The reason for my visit was to discuss my calcium and PTH levels which are consistently on the low side. She seemed so thorough and interested and on the ball, until she saw that my TSH was suppressed and that

Hallo everyone, In last times I noticed that my level of PTH is rising despite the therapy. I use Cinacalcet + Osvaren every day and it worked good untill now. In my last numbers PTH is 919 picogramms/ml that is on 100 higher than 3 months ago. Maybe there is more powerful medications against PTH?

Trying to take a survey of transplant patients like me who have high pth and what their doctors recommended. It is not as high as when I was on dialysis but still runs above normal. My doctor has never recommended medication or surgery. I guess due to my blood tests for calcium and I have exhibited

Hello I am new here and a bit confused and overwhelmed but hoping to get some advice and reassurance from folks who have been walking the path of hypothyroidism. To be clear from the outset I do not have a diagnosis and am not sure that this is where I'm heading. For context, I had parathyroid surgery

Hello 👋 We’re based in Shropshire and my partner has primary hyperparathyroidism . He has high calcium levels / PTH . We would be very very grateful of any private messages of any personal recommendations of surgeons who are very experienced in this type of surgery . Thank you 🙏 Kelly & John

Hi everyone ❤️ Just went to my surgery to pick my anticipated thyroid blood results from last Thursday....pause....no thyroid bloods have been done😤 I went specifically to have T4, T3, TSH done along with calcium and renals. You just can't make this stuff up🙄 But I think the nurse mixed up thyroid
