I don't know if it was from the anesthesia but I still feel awful. I am losing weight and can't seem to keep it on. The more I eat the more I am losing. The drs tested my thyroid and PTH is at 81 but endocrinologist says it's secondary hyperparathyroidism because I am low on vitamin d. Dr's ordered ultrasound and I have 3 nodules on thyroid and Dr said nothing suspicious and would repeat ultrasound in a year, so no help. My throat has been real sore since the ultra sound with burning mouth and tongue and it hurts in back of neck down to my chest and esophagus. I am at 104 pds and feel I am slowly depleting. I have also been depleting potassium, magnesium, and phosphorus in my urine and notice my Glucose levels up and down. Got tested for diabetes and it came back normal. I lost weight but seems whatever this is eating my muscles. I have a lot of pain and weakness in arms and legs. I don't know what else to ask for or do. Hospitals can't seem to find nothing and have done several xrays and ct scans and nothing. Hospitals give me iv fluids, potassium and magnesium and send me home. Not sure what to do anymore.
