Parathyroid help please!!

[glenbox]

Hi there I'm GLEN (Glenys) I'm new to all this!

Just wondered if there are others out there that are having problems with there PARATHYROID?

If so what are ur symptoms??

Mine are builds ups off calcum in my body but yet all NHS thyroid tests say I'm fine. But I am far from fine!

Thanks X

Hello - I'd have a look at Hypopara.org.uk - there is tons of info on there about parathyroid issues (and not just hypo). Thyroid and parathyroid issues can be related (e.g. many people have para issues after thyroid surgery) but tests and diagnosis and treatment are different altogether, so thyroid tests won't tell you what your parathyroids are doing.

Thanks so much

Looks good, just had a brief look!

So I need to look what tests I need to ask for for my parathyroid?

as I have many symptom but the calcum build up in my feet are the worse & I need constant operations!

Thanks again x

Sounds like you have Calcific Tendonitis which is not hyperparathyroidism.

Have you had a parathyroid blood test done at the same time as calcium ? If your parathyroid is normal then other reasons for hypercalcemia must be looked at. It is never good to have high calcium as it causes many other issues. Have a look at hyperparathyroid.org.uk for lots of info.

VitK2 MK7 is supplemented to encourage calcium away from the arteries and soft tissues into the bones and teeth. This is normally suggested on the Forum when people are taking high levels of VitD. Just wondered if it would be helpful for you too ....
