Hi @say7418 - nice to meet you and hear your story. I found your note quite interesting as I have suffered with hyperparathyoidism off and on for over 30 years now. I have it as a result of MEN1 and have had all but 1/2 of one parathyroid removed over three different surgeries. I found this site to be very helpful in understanding the condition and symptoms. (https://www.parathyroid.com/) - thought I am not endorsing any given institution - just found it very helpful when I first was diagnosed. Take care - Matt

Thank you! I have done a lot of reading in the last week from that site. It is very helpful. I still have more to cover.

My current endocrinologist is saying that my PTH is likely high due to low Vit D. But my Vit D was 28 so just barely low and my PTH was really high. Additionally, my first elevated PTH, I had a Vit D of over 50.

I have also had gastric bypass surgery so I wonder if that changes what my “normal” calcium should be.
