Thank you so much for your response! I’ve heard from others too that it is really rough, stressful and time consuming. I’ve had 3 lawyers reject my case so far. I don’t think i have the energy to do it . And i need to overcome all the symptoms that came with damaged parathyroid glands. I read that taking calcitriol and high doses of calcium long term can cause kidney failure and brain calcifications. But that PTH replacement can reduce those dosages and result in less terrible side effects.
Have you heard about this? I am between doctors at the moment due to my endocrinologist ditching me for asking questions. My new endocrinologist appointment isn’t until February so I’m having a hard time finding someone to help me with all of this in the meantime. Feeling weary right now, but I know that I have God‘s covering And he’s been close and helping me to have peace.
Thank you, again ,❤️
Nancy

Hi Nancy
I was prescribed calcitrol,(Rocaltrol) by my endocrinologist and I took it for approx 10 years along with high doses of calcium. I don’t believe I experienced any ill effects from it and I had a huge respect for my endocrinologist. He was very well versed. I also had the parathyroid glands auto transplanted into my mastoid muscle.
Not sure if any of this helps but please feel free to reach out. Things will improve going forward and although I realize it’s a real “hit” in so many ways, it will improve. 💕
Also after your post I googled and found an interesting site, it is in the UK but may answer questions for you too.
