Parathyroid?
| Thu, 10-14-2004 - 10:36pm |
Hi all:
Does anyone have a hyperparathyroid? I am being evaluated for it because my PTH came back elevated, as did my calcium. I think it might be related to the muscle spasams, by the way.
I have lab tests in the next few days and an endo appt. in Nov.
Thanks,
Dee.

Thanks for your reply.
Let me know what you find out.
I'm still waiting for my lab slips to come in the mail, then I'll have the labs done and see the endo in Nov.
In the meantime, my throat is also sore (I thought that was my thyroid), and of course, I feel like poo (excuse the phrase).

I looked again at my results from last time and my PTH was high, but Calcium normal. I've never had stones (one thing to be thankful for... my husband has and, OUCH!)so now I'm wondering if it really is a problem. Have you found any resources on the parath? Where did you hear that an inflamation is causing? Just curious for more details.

ps. I almost fell over laughing when I realized that a 24-hr catch meant ALL of it! I guess I'll take it to work with me???? Put it in the break-room fridge??? LOL!!
