I am also very interested in your reply. I have only one parathyroid gland, because the other three were removed in 1996, along with my thyroid gland. The remaining parathyroid gland is failing. I very much want to take another round or Forteo or try Tylmos, and I certainly do not want to take a bisphosphonate that will stop the osteoblasts.

I also only have one parathyroid gland, for the same reason as you. How do you know your gland is failing and has your Dr suggested a treatment option for this? Thanks.

With the only one remaining parathyroid gland that may be failing atm, it’s more challenging to maintain and monitor your state of bone health. Along with your thyroid hormone too. I’m sure your endo is taking great care of you. But at the same time I’m wondering if monitoring your bone markers will add additional value to your overall management, since tools are so limited to start with.
