Hyperparathyroidism with ‘normal PTH’?
Diabetes & Endocrine System | Last Active: 1 day ago | Replies (11)Comment receiving replies
Hello, I am new to mayo clinic discussion boards.
Two weeks ago I started with a new primary, who knows definitely knows a warning sign. My Calcium was 10.7, she immediately ordered PTH and Vitamin D bloodwork. Vitamin D was 26.5 & PTH was normal 41. She explained that PTH should not be normal, as the other 2 are high/low and suggests hyperparathyroidism. She sent a referral for an endocrinologist which isn't until end of October. Fatigue and body aches are my biggest symptoms.

@janem77 I went through all of that in 2005-2008. When I kept getting worse and worse. I had a doctor explain to me why I felt so bad. She said that when calcium was pulled from the bones, and suddenly dumped into the bloodstream that it overwhelmed my body. My calcium level went up to 11.2. I knew I needed surgery to remove the bad parathyroid gland.
I contacted the doctor in Tampa, Florida who was the parathyroid specialist and made arrangements for the surgery.
February 7, 2008 I had the surgery. No exaggeration, I felt 90% better the next day! Then 100% two days later…

Hello @janem77 Im also new to the journey of hyperparathyroidism. Fatigue, body aches, lots of going to the toilet to wee, thirsty, osteoporosis - this is the one that worries me. I recently broke bones in my foot - waiting to see where that leads with treatment options.
