Hyperparathyroidism caused osteoporosis--now what treatment?
Osteoporosis & Bone Health | Last Active: 2 days ago | Replies (47)Comment receiving replies
This is incredibly important information. Also, what kind of doctor do you have treating this condition, and what exact tests does one take to get to the bottom of this? I had a scan however my Internist said it looked normal, but my labs are anything but normal, and continue to get worse. The calcium continues to rise, and I am thinking it is also causing many other issues. I just dont understand. How does something like this happen, and why are doctors so quick to drop the issue, when the labs show something wrong?

As of this writing, I have not met with an endocrinologist. I am scheduled to meet with this specialist mid April 2024.
Did you ask your Internist if he/she could see all 4 glands? Who read the scan? How old is the scanning machine that did the scan? These are fair and important questions. Some doctors do not like being X-examined and that's a problem for them not you. You R UR own best advocate.
Did you watch the Youtube.com video I mentioned? If so, ask your physician if he/she has seen it. If the physician seems disinterested & you have a PPO that allows you to make an appointment with an endocrinologist, then do it for your own peace of mind.
Be sure to check in with your insurance to make sure they allow a second opinion, & that U can make the appt with the endocrinologist. If your insurance carrier wants to know why, then tell them.
I am not afraid to buck anyone whose responses are concerning.
