My skeleton was severely damaged. I had a T score of -3.1 in March of 2025. I will have a follow up bone scan in September 2026. My doctor also discouraged a follow up bone scan after being diagnosed with osteopenia in 2015 because she didn’t believe in the meds given by Endocrinologists. My Ob/Gyn said she could not disagree with her more and ordered my bone scan. She is the one who caught my severe primary hyperparathyroidism

@avalon3271 It sounds as if you have a great ob/gyn. Thank goodness for the good docs. Thank you also for all of the information about hyperparathyroidism. So appreciated. My best wishes for good health for you.

My PCP also ignored high calcium since 2018. The new standard for being referred to an Endocrinologist is anyone over the age of 35 with a calcium level of 10.0 likely has an adenoma on their thyroid. A normal parathyroid should weigh 34 mgs. Mine weighed 280 mgs. Per my surgeon. My calcium was 10.3 in 2018. My primary care physician told me to cut my dairy by 20%. Terrible doctor.
