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

That is very good to hear, @anncgrl. Yes, I am in the U.S. and within driving distance of the University of Michigan, Cleveland Clinic, and a plane ride to Mayo Clinic. So, I've got some good choices. I would probably be considered high risk because I have a paralyzed vocal cord which puts me at risk if the other vocal cord is harmed during the surgery, so I will seek out a very, very experienced surgeon who is willing to take it on.
Yes, I've endured the symptoms for a long time and persisted in seeking an answer. It appears like the answer is around the corner now.
I appreciate the encouragement you offered to me and others!

My wife had her surgery at the Norman parathyroid center in Tampa FL. She had 2 surgeons in on her surgery, one was Dr. Mitchell who came from the Cleveland clinic and Dr. Parruck. If you have abnormal PTH it's leaching the calcium out of the bones. Don't wait too long. Good Luck!

I have all confidence, given the many resources in your area, that you will find an able physician and have success! I am not sure if you are high risk because of the vocal cord. I believe there is plenty of space in between. I am certain you will soon have an answer. Go forth and fight the good fight!
