Hello @mayruth and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect.

I can certainly understand your confusion and also why you want to treat this problem so that you have relief from the symptoms that bother you.

I'm wondering what type of doctor is following this problem? If you are not currently seeing an endocrinologist, this would be a good specialist for a second opinion.

Have you had a CT scan of the neck? This test can show an adenoma on the parathyroid.

I look forward to hearing from you again. Will you post an update?

I have been seeing a nephrologist at Mayo Clinic because of the kidney stone. She was reluctant to refer me to Endocrinology at Mayo. I am trying to get an appointment with the endocrinology department of Mayo Clinic by self referral. I was previously told by Norman Parathyroid Clinic in Tampa, and by Parathyroid Atlanta that they would not accept me as a patient due to my serum calcium, ionized calcium, and PTH levels were too low.
I have not had a CT of the neck, but believe I should have a Parathyroid 4D-CT done.
