Elevated parathyroid hormone (PTH): How is it treated?

@cindyt63 - did your bone density increase after the surgery? Were you taking meds for it previously? I'm pretty uneasy about taking bisphosphonates Fosamax, etc. I know about those "small risks" from certain medications. My husband took a fluoroquinolone (Cipro) and was the rare statistic: his Achilles tendon snapped and really altered his physical health greatly.

I have not had a follow up bone density test yet. I will have one in a few months. I will be interested in seeing if it increases.@ I have been on Fosamax since my diagnosis of osteopenia. I have not had any problems with the Fosamax so far. I generally don't have reactions to medications with the exception of statin drugs and Mobic. I'm sorry to hear about your husband's reaction to Cipro.

@crankyyankee cipro is scary. My daughter knew someone also who suffered from sever side-effects and was very concerned when I was on it once. Thankfully, I was OK.
I am a fellow yankee, by the way.
