@debs4246 welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. You have a lot of physical things to deal with. No wonder you are overwhelmed. Your mention of Graves’ Disease got my attention in your post from the elevated parathyroid hormone (PTH) discussion. I have a history of Graves’ Disease. I also have Osteoporosis, CKD, Anemia and a history of Migraines. We have some things in common. I know that my PTH is monitored by 2 of my medical providers. I don’t know much about parathyroid glands (and ailments or treatments) except that it is located in close proximity to the thyroid (hence the name). It sounds like Teresa Volunteer Mentor @hopeful33250 has responded to your concerns about parathyroid. She is helpful and fantastic. I can tell you that there is a treatment for Graves’ Disease. I believe it is a medication called Methimazole. It is used to treat hyperthyroidism. Do you have providers taking care of your many ailments? Perhaps you can ask about this medication? Will you post again to let us know how you are coming along?
