Ok good. My parathyroid has been between 95 to 142 for 3 years. The cause of primary hyper parathyroid is due to an adenoma on it. I need a new scan. The last one I had - it didn’t show up. They aren’t going to cut my neck open and search for it. In the mean time, I’m quite certain it’s causing quite a bit of havoc.
I’d never heard of parathyroid issues before mine become a problem. People always talk about thyroid problems. But, not the little glands within.
yep- not well known- my doc suggested possible parathyroid problem because of a muscles issue I’m having the symptoms I’m having do tend to look like thyroid or parathyroid symptoms- (weakness, thermal regulation problem- hot cold for no reason- exhaustion, shaky- tired all the time- brain fog etc- they don’t know what’s going on- but suggested perhaps parathyroid since thyroid was fine)
Hated hated hated the test for parathyroid- can’t stand anything on my neck and had to lay there and endure 20 minutes of the ultrasound right where i can’t stand it most- the woman doing the test commented after “Had you been strangled in a past life?” lol-
anyway- they didn’t find anything abnormal- that was a couple of years ago- not going back for another test- they did TWO on me- Eyuck- that’s enough-
I actually was hoping it would be either thyroid or parathyroid- as they are fairly easily treatable, and people have complete turn around after treatment- but we’re still looking for answers unfortunately- I’m thinking it might be tick related- Babesia possibly- just gotta wait till this coronavirus junk is over with before i will go back to see about possible tick infection- (Babesia can also cause kidney damage too)
