Hyperparathyroidism caused osteoporosis--now what treatment?

@closetmonster93 your story sounds so familiar.
If your bloodwork shows a high calcium level, and you constantly feel like you have the flu, you need to get someone who is familiar with parathyroid glands. The parathyroid glands regulate the calcium levels in your body, especially your brain. They say, if your calcium is over 10.2 it’s high, and high calcium is almost always caused by a tumor on one of the glands.
It’s not common so most doctors don’t know how to handle it.
You may want to Google Parathyroid,com the site is from a group of surgeons who specialize in parathyroid problems. It is jammed packed with information.
I had my surgery there in Tampa, Fl with Dr. Norman.

Thank you so much for this information @SusanEllen66, I have needed this information for so long. Everything you talked about in your response is exactly what I’m experiencing. My calcium level is over 11 off the top of my head. I think it’s 11.4. I am told that the hypercalcemia is so bad that it’s just eating away the bone. I am going to have this brought up at my next appointment in January so I can further look into the parathyroid issue. I did have a scan of the parathyroid, but a scan does not show everything that they need to know the labs are showing something completely different than the scans. Thank you so much for bringing this up.

Thank you! I watched the video. I have access to my medical records going back to 2012. I just reviewed & printed them. Calcium levels show fluctuation. Thank you for sharing.
