I can certainly understand the restrictions made by insurance companies, @johnwes5819. Does Indiana have any medical schools that you could visit?

If not, I would at least research a very experienced endocrinologist that your insurance would cover.

The one clue you have provided that might indicate hyperparathyroidism is the kidney stones.

Once again, going back to the "Sherlock Holmes" comparison, you will need to do some research on your own. In other words, be your own detective in solving this medical mystery you find yourself experiencing.

Here is some information about hyperparathyroidism, https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/hyperparathyroidism/symptoms-causes/syc-20356194. You might also research hyperparathyroidism using "Google Scholar." Read these and see how many symptoms you have that apply to your current situation.

Once you get enough research together, then I recommend that you see a new endocrinologist and take your symptoms and your research and ask for a more thorough work-up. Being your own patient advocate will be your best approach at this time.
