Hello Jalo...I was interested in the posts about collagen, love the potential improvement in skin/arms! I noted your comment about having had parathyroid surgery. Would you please share your experience with the parathyroid surgery, I'm seriously considering it. How did you feel after and has it been long enough that you might have had improvement in bone density?TY!

Hi kolika,
I had parathyroid surgery in May 2020 at 65 yrs old. A scan showed enlargement of parathyroid so we went in thinking I had one nodule abnormal but it turned out that all 4 were. The surgeon was able to save a small amount of tissue on right side and my pth returned to normal levels immediately but within hours they climbed, dropped climbed again dropped again over 3 days, then leveled. A few days after being home, I developed significant dizziness and sweating, my blood pressure was climbing out of control. I have since needed bp medication which I've been able to decrease recently.
I haven't had a kidney stone or kidney infection since the surgery, yeah, but do have a dry sore throat most of the time.
I am still waiting on a bone scan, covid has backed everything up.
