Hi Nancy -

I will check on that - I know they checked her thyroid but not sure if it was specific to parathyroidism? Is that different? I will look back at some of her labs etc and check calcium and if there is anything in regards to parathyroid. I appreciate your response and question!! : )

Michelle ~ Thyroid and parathyroid are very different. The parathyroids are usually located on the thyroid but purposes are entirely different. Google parathyroid.com for info. Very briefly if her calcium is elevated and PTH (parathyroid hormone) level is elevated that may mean a bad parathyroid gland is causing symptoms. Surgery is the cure.
