I am reaching out to those with DISH

I don’t know for sure that dish is causing any issue, but I have to have a root canal and he said that the tooth pulp was filled with calcifications. So I don’t know if it comes from that or the fact that I’ve also had hyperparathyroidism and have had a parathyroid removed. Also, I see that people with higher uric acid levels, which is not unheard of for people with dish, at increased risk of calcifications in teeth. Just thought I’d ask.

@dishpain I wanted to mention issues that can happen with parathyroid disease and bone density. My elderly mom has had osteoporosis for years and it became severe. She had a high blood calcium level because parathyroids were pulling calcium out of her bones and she did have 2 parathyroid glands removed. She has had osteoporosis related fractures. Have your doctors discussed bone density with you?
