@barbfdh I’m so sorry you feel rotten every single day! I’m confused. Are you posting about a parathyroid or a thyroid issue? I don’t know much about or have much experience with parathyroid. I have a history and was treated for hyperthyroidism (Grave’s disease). My Dr. told me that the condition sometimes flips to the opposite, or hypothyroidism. Hyper—- means too much. Hypo—- means too little. My Dr. monitors my levels in case this starts happening to me. Does this sound like anything similar to what you are experiencing? Could you share more about your diagnoses and symptoms?

i started with Hyperthyroidism back in 1974 i think. but somewhere it flipped to Hypothyroidism. it wasn't till later i was informed about it.

I am posting about parathyroid issue. I noticed I typed hyperthyroid instead of hyperparathyroid. I have been hypothyroid for almost 20 years but went to hyperthyroid after Covid vaccine. Took almost 3 years of adjusting levothyroxine and adding back liothyronine to finally get me back to good numbers. When I was hyperthyroid, my symptoms were mind racing, tremor, heart palpitations, kind of like your body & mind being in hyperactive mode. Now at hyperthyroid, my body & mind have slowed down & hard to lose weight. I was really hoping it was hyperparathyroidism, because so many of my symptoms are the same. Chronic fatigue, general feeling of "illness" and "feeling bad" that can be hard to describe, anxiety, osteoporosis, bone pain, difficulty sleeping, gastric acid reflux, high blood pressure, frequent headaches. Hard to know what support group I should be in. Stroke, chronic pain, thyroid, osteoporosis. I don't think doctors know what to do with me. I am now in therapy at age 75 where I talk about my health because this is what my personality revolves around now.
