I’m not familiar with temperature issues being a parathyroid issue. I thought that was thyroid.
The problem with long term parathyroid problems is that calcium is running amok inside your body. 18 years is very much long term. Mine have been elevated since late 2016 and am hoping that’s why I feel so cruddy. Because - it’s treatable. If we can see it to treat it lol.
oops- yup- you’re right- thyroid- they did test me for that too- no issues- that was one of the things they asked me right off- problem is though- a couple of things can cause temperature issues- so it’s hard to tell- gotta rule things out basically- There was a couple of symptoms that go along with thyroid that i didn’t have- so i wasn’t thinking they would find that- Fibro either- but they say i have that- I think they just got fed up with trying to find what it could be- I don’t have the tender points that are supposed to go along with fibro (or trigger points- can’t remember which now)
I dunno- it’s exhausting- discouraging-
I know someone who had a fairly dramatic turnaround when their parathyroid problem was finally diagnosed and treated (surgery to remove an enlarged node). It had eluded diagnosis for years, causing extreme exhaustion.
