Experiences with

Parathyroid conditions

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

So I got my Sept results today.Only info I got so no ranges but same as previous TSH 5.55 T4 16.1 T3 3.4 100mg levothyroxine daily Next blood test and results review 26th Nov. I feel really well on this dosage atm I'm gonna look back to check against previous results. Also I'm 4 months post op of

I HAD INFECTION ON FRONT LOWER TEETH I TOOK ANTIBIOTI C AND HAD THEM EXTRACTED OUT 4 DAYS AGO. TODAY I GOT VARIOUS TEST I WILL WRITE RESAULTS I THINK MUST HAVE INTERFERE WITH TSH AS BEFORE I WAS ON 87.5 EUTHYROX AND I RAISED TO 100MG AND TSH GONE HIGH INSTEAD OF LOWERING TSH IS 3.27[

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

Hello 👋 members , I just wanted to pop back and say thank you all for commenting on my posts regarding my John who has primary hyperparathyroidism . My goodness we didn’t have a very good experience today at local doctors 🙈 He wasn’t concerned with blood pressure and wasn’t going to do a referral

Once I started dialysis, we could not get the phosphorous to go down. Now mind you, before dialysis, it was always over 5 most times or even over 5.5 and was at 5.8 before I started dialysis. Neph put me on a binder, sevelamer, did nothing, except block me up completely. Then we tried Velphoro, and

I found Arty-fact's post on hyperparathyroidism enlightening, as I'd never heard of a connection between HPT and PD. Looking for studies on the subject, I was surprised to learn of a possible connection with restless leg syndrome too, and thought those with this affliction might want to read this paper

After a year of being made to “wait and see” I am finally booked for surgery for hyperparathroidism I have really deteriorated in that time. I’ve developed osteoporosis, have severe hip pain, serious muscle weakness and worst of all have pretty much lost my sense of humor. I don’t know any more what

In Feb 1987, I returned to the UK after a 3 year posting in Cyprus and we were accommodated in married quarters on a nearby former USAF base. About 6 months later, and without any warning my symptoms of tiredness and general malaise started. I was prescribed an iron tonic, which eventually I was drinking

I live in the US and have an endochronologist (excuse the spelling)..........I have been on 50 mcg for about 15 years............and this dose seemed to be on the medium side. Your dose seemed alot lower because of the decimal point you wrote (not sure if they even make synthroid at that super low level

hi everyone!!! I finally got my enlarged thyroid removed on 8/1/24 and all went well, thank the Lord ! And my wonderful surgeon and support staff! I have to say the thyroid was quite large to say the least, waiting on pathology reports. Some pain immediately postop but feeling much better now, more of

Hi everyone! I'm 59... was dx last year at 58 with Osteoporosis. I was dx with osteoporosis last Sept. Hip: T value -2.3 femoral neck T value -2.7 lumbar spine T value -2.8 ___________ I just had my vitamin D and magnesium and PTH , calcium intact tested... waiting for more results. All

Does anyone know the reference range for parathyroid hormone blood test in pmol? Mine said it was in range according to the NHS lab but I'm not so sure

Article from the Mirror about women struggling to get a diagnosis of what turned out to be hyperparathyroidism. It takes many years. https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/health/nhs-doctors-brushed-condition-menopause-33179607 Not the best medical/health-related article I've ever read, but isn't very long.
