Dear Dr. Schneider, My boyfriend had parathyroid surgery to remove a gland 7 months ago. He had a high calcium level for at least 10 years, and after seeing his doctor he said it was urgent and recommended the surgery. Prior to the surgery, he had very minimal symptoms only kidney stones. His calcium level was at 13.5 before the parathyroid surgery afterwards calcium levels dropped to 9.8. He hasn't been the same since he has muscle tightness in arms, neck and shoulder area, ringing in his left ear to this day, hyper-insomnia, and lethargy. He has also developed rashes on his upper back and chest, and peeling of his skin. Noone seems to take his symptoms seriously and it's hard to watch a perfectly healthy 56 yr old man go through this torture. The insurance refused the referral for him to go back to an Endocronoligist because his calcium in their eyes is at a normal level now, so they have washed their hands with it.

This was great to hear. The doctor said exactly what I was thinking myself - that if the calcium level is high or high normal, the PTH should be lower, not high Normal otherwise the system is out of kilter. PTH is sent out when calcium levels are low to encourage calcium extraction from the bone and vice versa. My GP did not bother about these numbers and I sought a referral to a specialist who stated - on my numbers - I had hyperparathyroidism. It seems to m,e that basic training is not given on interpreting the calcium to PTH ratio/relationship and Im wondering how long I’ve had this given I had kidney stones identified about 15 year ago and have for years had unusual heart palpitations that the heart doctor could not identify a cause (put down to menopause), both symptoms of possible hyperparathyroidism. Im waiting to see an endocrinologist for further evaluation but have rally lost faith in the medical system here in Australia.

Understanding if there’s lots of calcium in the blood, I’ve learned to research that you can help your parathyroid especially the calcium amount that’s flowing through your blood with the minerals, magnesium and vitamin K2, which helps pushes the calcium back to the bone And recent research shows. Please consult with your physician to see if this is true. Also research yourself and understand how vitamin K2 and vitamin D3 and magnesium work together to help pushes calcium that’s in your bloodstream back to the bones. Amazing research shows along with fasting and also forget about the mineral which your thyroid needs iodine research please????? happy health to everyone

@dudeguy81275 ай бұрын
Scans are often negative, and most doctors/surgeons experienced with hyperparathyroidism will rely on bloodwork, not scans, for diagnoses. Because of the location of the glands (behind the thyroid) the thyroid often obscures the view of them on an ultrasound or ct. On a sestamibi scan (probablspelled that wong, sorry), the nuclear meds they inject is attracted to the adenomas, but with a small adenoma, multiples, and hyperplasia, the concentration is often harder to see, and the thyroid can obstruct the view of them in that type of scan as well. Typically, a quality surgeon will use those scans not as a diagnostic tool, but as a way to check that the parathyroid glands aren't in any crazy places, as in utero, the glands descend into place and can sometimes descend too low, into the cheat, or not descend, and be stuck under the jaw, so they use the scans to try to rule that out, as well as use the nuclear injection from the septamibi scan in surgery, by using a gamma probe to measure concentrations of that nuclear substance in the glands their looking at. Because it concentrates in overactive glands, the gamma probe will show high levels of it in the hyperactive glands, confirming that those are the "bad" ones that they need to remove, or ensuring, by lack of concentration of the substance when probed, that they don't remove any good glands. In short, never ever rely on a negative scan to say whether you have hyperparathyroidism or not. If a doctor/surgeon is doing that, go to a different doctor. Most scans are negative, but that doesn't mean you don't have the disease, just that they aren't showing up on it. Many places also have lower quality scans or are not as trained in finding the parathyroid glands with them, especially because they can vary in size and location. Though rare, you can also have more or less than four glands depending on how you developed. So definitely go get a second opinion if possible, especially if your levels are abnormal. The only cure at this time is surgery, and the longer you have it the more damage done to your bones and body, which is one of the biggest reasons why the "wait and see" method, where you wait and see if your calcium gets to some specific, high level, is so dangerous. Anyway, sorry for the ramble, but I hope this helped and if you're dealing with this you can get the help you need! It sucks to say the least.

My ionized calcium blood levels keeps coming back high. My calcium and vitamin D levels are almost non existent. I think this has been going on for years. I have severe scoliosis with most of my back fused with rods. I have osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, and bone pain. I'm starting to think that I have hyperparathyroidism?

Can hyperparathyroidism cause severe scoliosis and kyphosis?

What are your numbers? Calcium and pth? Bone pain is one of the top 2 symptoms. If you are over 10.0 in calcium, and you are over 40, it’s a most definite yes.

Get a PTH and Nuclear Iodine Study of Parathyroid not just Thyroid

My calcium was 10 and PTH 96. The consultant said it was my age 😡. I have chronic arm pains , pins and needles that wake me up, I was sent for carpal tunnel surgery and the surgeon said "this is not carpal tunnel" go back to your doctor. Bone pain in my right arm is evil😢
