I am reaching out to those with DISH

@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?

Hi Jennifer. Thank you for commenting. I am watched very carefully because of all my conditions. I get bloodwork every three months and I do have routine bone density. So far since the one parathyroid was removed in 2019, my calcium has been under control and parathyroid hormone Has also been in normal range. I am also in healthcare and for myself, and try to make sure I watch out for things. I do so appreciate you pointing this out not only to me, but to everybody else who reads these posts. 🙏
